Finding a part-time job while pursuing your graduate studies can be a great way to gain valuable experience, earn extra income, and connect with the campus community. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Connect with Handshake
Handshake (hiremizzoutigers.com) is Mizzou’s go-to platform for part-time job opportunities on campus. Create a profile and regularly check for job postings that align with your skills and interests. This platform connects you directly with campus employers who are eager to hire students.
Attend the Part-Time Campus Job Fair
Mark your calendar for Thursday, September 4, and head over to Lowry Mall noon-3 p.m. for the Part-Time Campus Job Fair. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet campus employers in person. Remember to bring your ID, copies of your resume, and your class schedule. While casual dress is welcome, be prepared to make a great first impression.

Need help with your resume, job search, or interview prep? Make an appointment with one of our graduate career coaches! Our dedicated coaches, Audra Jenkins and Dr. Laura Roesch, are available for both in-person and virtual meetings. Schedule an appointment through MU Connect or email them at gradcareer@missouri.edu.
