The Human Resources department is looking to hire a student worker for the summer of 2019 and into the 2019-2020 academic year. The position will be scheduled to work approximately 40 hours per week during the summer. The position will also be able to roll into the academic year at 10 hours per week.

This position is ideal for a quick learner with a can do attitude, who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment. The primary focus of this position will be on assisting with the college-wide student employment process, but this position also supports the work of the entire department. This means that student employee can/will interact with all members of the department. In addition to providing general office support (excellent customer service, copying, faxing, mail distribution, filing, data entry) there is also a variety of projects that the HR department works on which may allow for new experiences. Confidentiality and dependability are essential.

If interested, please apply through Handshake.
