Which job is best for a future graduate student?

We Answered:

I agree with ooooo above about the on-campus job. A library position would be specific to your field without the expectations and hassles of the other options outside of work. Even subs in the public school still have to commit time outside of the job just to find availability and work out some kind of schedule. It can be very inconsistent and draining. That being said, subbing will still give you a stronger job history than being a bus attendent. If you are looking for something easy and straightforward, the bus attendant job fits the bill, but you should always consider the potential a job has to help you in your career path.

Always think about the possible interview questions you will be asked down the road about past jobs and how you can beef up your resume. Part-time jobs while studying don't just have to be a filler for income. Sometimes they can matter just as much as the education your getting for landing a position. Make it a stepping stone to something bigger and better.

Don't pass up the option of student employment. See the article below to read how you can really use it to your advantage.
