Part-Time Employment at UGA

Take Initiative

Job Inquiry & Application Follow Up Emails

Some jobs may not be posted online, so take the initiative to reach out to departments, offices, and companies if you are interested in working for them (See our "Email Correspondence Examples" page for additional help in reaching out).

After you apply, it is a good extra step to email the potential employer notifying them of your application (See our "Email Correspondence Examples" page for additional help in reaching out).

Network in Person

Did you know that 40-50% of students rely on networking to secure part-time employment? You may consider going to your goal workplace in-person to have a conversation regarding potential employment opportunities.
