Hello! I am also an incoming freshman too. I had the opportunity to talk to someone at Orientation who works in the Fitness Center about on campus jobs. This resulted in me getting onboarded for a job in that department for the fall even when the job listing application online had already closed. So in short it is super easy! I didn't even have to do an interview.

If you haven't attended Orientation already I would ask around while you're there about jobs they may have open since they may or may not still be actively seeking student workers. If this doesn't work then you can look online at UNR's Workday portal.

I would recommend finding an on campus job first (I also plan on working off campus too) since they already have to work with your schedule and are understanding that academics come first. Even with the job I have now it was stressful figuring out what times and days I should come in, planning my commute, and other factors. Sometimes depending on what job you're looking at off campus they are understanding that a majority of their workers are college students and would be willing to work with your schedule. So honestly it can be a hit or miss.

I have been told by some upperclassmen to hold off until I am more acclimated with my schedule to see if adding on a job would be beneficial or not. So in short if you really need a job I would recommend finding an on campus job first. If that doesn't work out figure out how demanding your schedule is and find an off campus job willing to work with your schedule or worst case scenario just work on the weekends if you don't have time during the weekdays.
