<p>So I got work study and today is the day when they put up academic year work study jobs. I don’t know where to start, so anyone mind telling me what to do? Also, how is the work study program? Also, which one do you guys recommend?</p>
<p>If you are athletically inclined I would recommend being an IM official. Flexible nighttime hours, lots of fun people, and nice pay.</p>
<p>What is an IM official? and how do you apply for the job? I don’t think it is posted.</p>
<p>Yeah, i think some people here are pretty lost. I never worked before, nor applied for any job. I’m clueless on what to do 
Anyone kind enough to help me out?</p>
<p>During zero week there will be a job fair with a whole bunch of ASUCLA jobs where you can get an instant hire, just bring ID and social security card (Not sure if necessary) for tax and hire forms.</p>
<p>IM official is mainly football referee in the fall, basketball in the winter, and softball umpire in the spring. There’s a bunch of running involved, but the professional staff provides all the training needed.</p>
<p>Do all ASUCLA jobs pay the same or do some pay more than others?</p>
<p>I believe the rate varies by position and experience.</p>
<p>Does the money from work study go toward your tuition or can you keep it?</p>
<p>@dinoian Do you know which jobs pay on the higher end of the pay scale. I have some work experience (worked as a filer making $12/hour and a dishwasher making $10.50/hour).</p>
<p>I’m not sure which ones for 1st years, but the math dept. pays $12+/hr for grading, but eligible only after completing 33 series and being math major, which usually takes a year. </p>
<p>The administrative jobs usually pay more, and lab assistants can make a lot, or IT jobs with BOL can pay higher rates, but they require specific skill sets, and you could probably make more with independent consulting.</p>
<p>The money goes to you as a paycheck.</p>
<p>So i contacted several people and I still haven’t received a response…</p>
<p>blablaboil, it helps if you emailed your resume.Some department will need you to fill out an application form in addition. Last year, I practically gave up after about 12 rejections but I will try harder this year. I don’t have any work experience so it has been tough for me.</p>
<p>12 rejections? That didn’t make me any happier… I too don’t have any work experience so I don’t know… I thought work study was guaranteed job…
Also, what exactly did you put in your resume? I’m not sure what to put other than ECs I did in high school.</p>
<p>That was basically what I had on my resume. I served as co president on an asian/international club back in high school, i was captain on the tennis and volleyball team and I played 4 years of club volleyball. I also volunteered at my local library around 3 hours a week in my senior year. I also thought that it was somehow guaranteed since it was work study but the competition makes it really tough! Hey don’t worry it might have been just me! I’ll try to work out a more positive image of me, hahaha!</p>
<p>I am moderately competent with computers think the comp lab assistant job is easy?</p>
<p>Probably. Can you load paper in the printers and click buttons on the computer and show up on time? That’s pretty much all it seems they do.</p>
<p>The key to landing a job is being confident. No where on your resume or cover letter should you cause the employer to doubt your skills. When you try to sell yourself to other, show your best self and avoid any negative things. Good luck.</p>
<p>So how do you make people believe in you when you have no working experience, or in other words, how do you convince them to hire you over an experienced candidate? I thought i would say that i have a good attitude and that i am willing to learn new skills.How does that sound? What do I write on my cover letter ?</p>
