| Advice on Finding a Job/Internship | |
Barry University students are pretty competitive when it comes to jobs, so if work-study is included in your financial-aid package, try to immediately find a job. From day one, students will rush around campus filling out job applications and speaking to managers in an attempt to get a job. Barry offers many types of work-study jobs, including gym helpers, theater technicians, and positions in the student union or communications department, but if you wait more than two weeks to look for a campus job, you will be out of luck. Many freshmen who are eligible for work-study enter Barry with the notion that a job will always be available for them, but that is not the case at all. If you do not market yourself, show your face, and apply early (meaning Week One), you will be unemployed for the semester or even the entire academic year.
To make your transition to the real world a success, use the Barry University Career Service Center as much as possible. The staff there truly wants to help current students and alumni find the best internships, jobs, and advancement opportunities.
