When can you expect to start? We review applications on a rolling basis year-round, but most student worker positions begin at the start of a semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer) to allow sufficient time for interviews, on-boarding, and comprehensive training.
If your application is submitted mid-semester (e.g., several weeks in), the hiring process typically takes 1–3 weeks or more, meaning a start date would fall late in the current term—if at all. Because of the significant training required, we rarely make mid-semester hires unless the candidate is an exceptional fit.
We strongly prefer applicants who can commit to ongoing employment across multiple semesters (and academic years, where eligible). Summer-only interest (e.g., primarily for housing) is usually not accommodated due to the training investment—please only select Summer if you are open to continuing into the following fall semester.
