When applying to job vacancies, it is important that you understand all of the skills, abilities, and requirements needed to perform the stated job functions. You should have a resume and a cover letter ready to provide to the hiring employer.
It is recommend that you research the integrity of each organization or person that lists a job before applying to any position. You must personally undertake this responsibility by thoroughly researching employers prior to visiting a potential employer’s house or business office. Neither the ICC nor UC Davis is responsible for safety, wages, working conditions or other aspects of off-campus employment.
I want to apply for a work-study job on-campus, but Handshake says I am not eligible even though I am. Can I still apply?
