<p>Are you a new Carleton student looking for a job for next academic year?</p>
<p>Are XML, CSS, and PHP more than just alphabet soup to you? </p>
<p>If you said Yes to both, send me a message–I’m hiring at least one web programmer for next year. It’s real resume-building work experience, on a very flexible schedule, with lots of opportunity to learn new technical skills. </p>
<p>Oh, and there’s chocolate on a regular basis.</p>
<p>hey,
Would html and css work, if I don’t know php?</p>
<p>If you have any kind of skills that a Carleton office might find useful, list them on your work-study preference sheet (that is if you don’t get snatched up by lunitari). Things like graphic design, making flyers, data entry, answering phones, customer service, computer troubleshooting, programming, face-time in front of an office, etc. will make it much more likely that you get good campus job placement. Likewise if you have interests in things that are handled by a Carleton office, indicate that. You could learn more about, say: academic administration by being in the Dean of the College office, planning and executing events from Campus Activities, the campus network from ITS, finding internships and writing resumes from the Career Center, how financial aid actually works from Student Financial Services, Minnesota prairie ecology from Arb crew, publications from…whatever the publications office is called, media production from PEPS or CAMS, insider admissions process details from the Admissions Office, etc. Not that these are necessarily glamorous jobs, but office work (or physical labor in the case of Arb crew) is a lot less boring when you have an interest in the matters handled by that office.</p>
<p>Of course, you could still get placed in food service or custodial (and many freshmen will), but it’s less likely when there are obvious offices to place you based on your skills and interests. I was lucky enough to get placed in a office I really connected with in my time at Carleton and certainly got as much out of that experience as I did any of my classes. The work-study culture where almost everybody seems to have a campus job and a good percentage of them take pride in it is something that is fairly unique to Carleton and an underappreciated feature of the school.</p>
<p>CSS + graphic design skills is a good combination. We don’t actually do a lot of straight HTML work, because we have a content management system.</p>
<p>dietcokewithlime, if you don’t have work-study as part of your financial aid package, is it still possible to get a job on campus? If so, how does that process work?</p>
<p>I can do CSS, rasters in Photoshop, and vectors in lllustrator.</p>
<p>@mflevity Good questions. I know you can still have a campus job without having it as part of an aid package but I don’t know the specifics of getting one in that case. If this page doesn’t help, call Student Financial Services and ask: [Carleton</a> College: Student Financial Services: Policies and Procedures](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/campus/sfs/student_employment/policies/]Carleton”>http://apps.carleton.edu/campus/sfs/student_employment/policies/)</p>
<p>Yes, you can have a campus job without it being part of your financial aid package. Supervisors like me are instructed to hire students in need of FA first if at all possible, though. </p>
<p>The Student Financial Services site has job postings that you can apply for, and jobs will also get advertised in the NNB (Noon News Bulletin), a daily news/events sheet that you’ll find in the dining halls.</p>
