Campus Rep Positons

Minimum hours, free swag, MONEY, and a reference letter, what more could a college kid want out of a job. This is exactly what you get if you become a campus rep. Campus reps are affiliated with many companies nation-wide. These companies, ranging from large corporations to local businesses, are trying to promote and market their products on college campuses all over the country. This job allows students the freedom to work minimum hours and on their own time, while getting free stuff! Are you interested yet!?

At Kansas State University, I personally know the Red Bull student rep. He gets cases of Red Bull each month, and a couple hundred dollars a month to go to parties and bring Red Bull and swag with him! This job requires someone who can market and promote the company's product in a positive way. Big name companies such as Red Bull, Apple, and Asus all have these student rep programs on Campuses Nationwide. You can go to www.collegehero.com to check out available rep positions.  What are you waiting for? Go to your favorite company, local business, etc and see if you can become a rep on campus. Fun, easy money for college students who get to work when they choose! Its either this or...Or Become a Mystery Shopper!

Job Help

Hello Blog world,

My name is Kyle Hanson. I am currently a Junior at Kansas State and Majoring in Business. Lately there has been a lot of pressure to make money, make more money, and make money on top of that. I am blessed to have a pretty good job interning this summer, but when I head back to school, I need enough cash to last the whole school year. I wouldn't be worried about it if I could get a part time job when I am back at college but being apart of the Cross Country and Track and Field team greatly hinders my ability. So the reasons I need more money include:

1) New running shoes = $110

2) New computer= $700 dollars

3) Flight to Italy to visit the girlfriend studying abroad = $1000

That itself totals a mere $1810 dollars!

I don't know about you but that kind of money is pretty tough to come by, so for the time being I am doing what I can to improve my chances of finding a very flexible part time job/ get a job lined up for next summer.

So what can you do to improve your chances and ability? A key to getting a interview, job, etc. is to have a great error-free resume to go with an exceptional cover letter.  After visiting countless websites, job searches, and university affiliated functions I have these ideas:


1) Use your College/University's Career Employment Services,

- upload your resume/cover letter

- work with there representatives to improve said documents.

There is nothing easier to do then post these documents on their website and wait for an opportunity to fall into your lap. Many employers use these websites to find future hires, so this is a great place to start.

2) If you are looking for Internships it is never to early to start applying! There are tons of websites out there to help you!

 http://www.internships-usa.com/  is my favorite link to thousands of possible internships all over the country. It might not work for you if your school does not have access to this site.

- again check your schools CES program in step 1 for something more in your area!

3) Stay open to any learning opportunities.

Sometimes it means learning a new skill and doing something you might not be thrilled about. But having tools in your toolbox never hurts, and in today's economy opportunities are hard to come by. It is becoming less what you know but who you know. So networking is key and having many skills to offer is a huge benefit!

It is important to always be looking, always be putting yourself out there risking it! Things don't fall into people laps, unless you do the work before hand! So update your resumes! Build that cover letter! and start putting yourself out there for opportunities.

Is there any ideas, sites, part-time jobs, etc that have worked for you? pyramid/get-rich-quick schemes you can offer? Just joking, but I would love get some feedback or information you have found useful!

Cheers!

Kyle
