Class schedule
Students with both morning and afternoon classes do not
have as many work options because of their complicated class
schedules.
Participation in sports programs
If they have a music/fine arts class there may be a conflict
with work.
Student’s work earnings listed on their financial plan
Some jobs cannot provide enough work hours to fulfill the
students work obligations.
GPA
This usually applies to students who tutor or work for
teachers. If a student has poor grades in math, for example,
they probably won’t work for a math teacher.
Staff requests
Student’s work preference
New student or returning student
All of these things are taken into consideration when placing a
student in a job. However, a student coming in as a freshman
may not have as many options available to them because some of
the more desirable jobs are already taken by returning students.
Students are frequently reminded to do a good job wherever they
are assigned, even though they may not care for the job. People
will notice their hard work. Those who work hard will have more
job opportunities later on.
