Quick Jobs

Quick Jobs allow students to work around their academic schedules and require only a short-term commitment. These positions range from party help or raking leaves to assisting in medical research studies or developing a web site, and may last from 15 minutes to one month.

New jobs are posted continuously to the Quick Job Listings throughout the day.

Most jobs are available at the convenience of the employer, but are usually completed within the week. If you’re looking for an ongoing part-time job to provide you with steady income, however, check out the Part-Time Jobs.

Students interested in Quick Jobs are required to register for the service, agreeing to the service’s regulations.  Students contact employers and are paid directly by them. Once a student has accepted a position, it is their responsibility to notify the employer if they can no longer work the job or will be missing a shift.  Failure to do so may result in a suspension from using the Student Job Service.
