Quickie Jobs
Quickie 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 Quickie Job Listings throughout the day.
Most jobs are immediately available. You can stop by in the morning, line up a job for the afternoon, and have cash in your pocket the same day. If you’re looking for an ongoing part-time job to provide you with steady income, however, check out the Job Board.
Quickie students are required to sign a contract agreeing to the service’s regulations and must present their BU ID at the front desk before receiving any employer’s name and phone number. Students contact employers and are paid directly by them.
Eligibility
To be eligible to use Quickie Jobs, students must be enrolled in a degree program at Boston University and either:
- Currently registered.
- In the first semester of a leave of absence approved by the University Service Center.
Entering Freshmen and Graduate Students are eligible to use the service once an admission deposit has been paid, and may use a photo ID in place of a Boston University ID.
You must obtain a Kerberos password through the Office of Information Technology before accessing the Student Link.
Registering for Quickie Jobs
Read the Quickie Job Procedures, then register to use the service by completing the Quickie Quiz and signing the Quickie Student Contract. You can also register in person during your next visit to the Student Job Service.
Remember: You must initially come into the office and present your ID to receive employer information (referrals) on Quickie Jobs.
Students who prove to be reliable Quickie Job Service users are eligible to receive Quickie Job referrals online, via the Student Link, and are not required to come in person to pick up referrals. To receive this privilege, students must be placed into at least 5 jobs over a semester, diligently report back on their referrals, and be in good standing with the Service and its employers. Students who meet the criteria will be given access to view employer contact information on the Student Link. All Quickie Job Service rules still apply, and any student who does not adhere to Quickie policies and procedures will face suspension from the Service.
