With the demands of college work, it could be hard for students find accommodating jobs.

“Oh boy, 100 percent,” said Kaitlyn Knowles after asked if her Friendly’s job was not understanding to her school hours. Knowles thinks it would be much easier to have an on-campus job.

The ESU University has many on-campus jobs for students who may not have time for an off-campus job.

Currently, the university is looking for 2018 Orientation Leaders. Orientation Leaders give incoming families information all about the university.

Also, leaders give tours of the university throughout the school year.

The university even has jobs for different majors.  For example, there are jobs in biological sciences, the athletic track, business, chemistry and many more.

Even if you don’t want to work in your major, the university offers a job in the Barnes & Noble university store.

For more information visit www.esu.edu. Go to the “About” tab and then “Human Resources.” Under “More Info” is “Student Employment.” All the student employments could be found there.

On the other hand, there are some jobs that are understanding.

“Kohl’s is really big on hiring college students, so they know we will be constantly in and out”, says Angela Dutan.  Dutan works both on and off campus and thinks they are both very cooperative with college.
