contact career coach/center and possibly set up a meeting.
But what if you don't apply for work study?
Non-Work-Study
These are just like regular working positions posted through the school's departments.
A disadvantage of non-work-study is the limited number of positions as compared to work study.
If you don't apply for work-study, stay proactive and consistent when searching for a position.
Use your college's provided job search resource.
What if you don't apply for work-study and there aren't any available positions on campus?
Get in contact with your schools career center, as they usually have connections and positions posted for jobs off-campus.
A disadvantage to this is that you will need transportation to and from the place of work.
