If a student who does not qualify for work study wants to get a part time any kind of job to help with costs, what are her prospects around Pitt?
I am guessing competition must be pretty fierce?
Does Pitt help with job postings & such?
Not all on-campus jobs require students to be work-study eligible: https://www.pittsource.com/
Career Development and Placement Assistance also has a list of some job-boards students can use: http://www.studentaffairs.pitt.edu/cdpa/find-job
There are also many shops, restaurants, and other businesses close to campus where students can seek out part-time work!

Thanks @hailtopitt1787
I’m checking out the jobs board link.
I was wondering exactly about those shops, eateries, etc - if there is a lot of hiring going on and such.
@scholarme, I get the impression that there is when I am walking around Oakland during lunch. Many of the staff at local shops/eateries are students, from my experience.
You may also want to reach out to some of our current students and get their input! The Twitter/Instagram handles of eight current students are listed on this Tumblr blog and they would be happy to talk to you if you reach out: http://pittstudentvoices.■■■■■■■■■■/

I will pass that on to my D.
Thanks!
One of the things I like about Pitt is the number of on campus part time jobs available. Many of the different departments hire students to help in the offices, students cam also be hired to help with research, tutor other students or as a junior or senior become a teaching assistant for professors. These are all jobs that look good on a resume.
My ds’ roommates found jobs at a movie theater and waitering at one of the restaurants in Oakland. My ds and dd work in labs p/t for pay.
When we checked out dining options, it said that they hire students and they get a free meal during their shift I believe.

they have positions listed for summer right now, but they should have jobs during the school year also, right?
@mommdc, Yes, there are jobs available to students on campus during the school year. Your student can check back in the late summer/early fall. I would also encourage them to look at https://www.pittsource.com/ for other jobs in various offices across campus.
@hailtopitt1787, thanks so much for the link.
