Job board, there's a variety of different jobs that anyone can acquire. If you've gotten an A in a class, then you can become a tutor. If you wanted just to get involved with the community, get involved with ISERV. You can get in with large-scale or small-scale events which plan all the country dancing on campus, karaoke nights, and you can get paid for doing that. You're usually typically in a council with five to eight people and you help plan everything. And then you can even, starting at your second semester, you can become a mentor. There's a variety of different mentors that they have on campus. They have new student mentoring, they have pre-arrival mentoring, and they all kind of fall under the same umbrella to help students so they can give back and help you. And getting involved there will teach you a lot of different leadership opportunities as well. If those are interesting to you, then you can also look around for the custodial positions as well on campus.

So definitely the most defining thing I did at BYU-Idaho was I initially volunteered in an organization called Student Support, which included student activities and student success is what they're both called now. Student success being the mentoring programs, and these actually had a lot to do with my major. If you have a major that requires a lot of volunteer hours, such as nursing, it's a really great thing to do. Or just if you're in something that works with people a lot or you just like people, it's a great thing to do. But it was also later on a job opportunity for me because I had spent so many years volunteering in it. And so this kind of, I already had the connections and was very familiar with the organization. And so it was a great opportunity to get a job that I loved and was comfortable with and loved knowing the people and the work. And it really prepared me to have the job I have today.

There are plenty of opportunities to work at Brigham Young University, Idaho. I was a teacher's assistant teaching French and also an aerobics TA as well. It's a great way to make some money, do something that you love, and also meet great people and other students. Highly recommend it if you have a particular skill set and as well if there's a professor that you get along well with and you have a good working professional relationship. It could be a really good opportunity to be a teacher's assistant.

The reputation is that BII doesn't have many places to work, but that is not true. You just have to know where to look. I would recommend, if you're just wanting to get good money to pay for schooling, don't want to leave the town though, I would recommend fast food. They're always hiring, especially nowadays. They pay like pretty well. For example, McDonald's will pay like I think up to, don't quote me on this, but maybe up to $15, and they'll also help you pay with your tuition, which is really good. But I'd also recommend go to the professors in your major, go meet with them, go to their offices, they're really nice, and talk with them about, okay, what can I do to, you know, is there, can I be a TA, can I do this or whatever, and you'll get paid for that as well, and that also is a kill two birds with one stone, because you'll make a lot of money, and it'll help you out with getting into whatever future career or field you want to get into.

Student jobs can be really hard to get. My recommendation, if that's something you want, is networking. Networking is one of the biggest ways to get a job on campus. My husband has worked on campus for two years now, and he was able to make a big connection, but also he's been able to get like four or five other people jobs. And so networking is huge. And so if you wanna get into the campus job system, definitely make friends with people who already work on campus. They can definitely help you out.

I was an online TA and that was a really nice gig to have because it's only part-time and I was able to do it along with my other courses.

There is service desk options, personal training. There's also janitorials. Ask people for jobs, and if they don't give you any, create one. Find a need and make a way to fix that need.

There's a ton of student jobs at BYU-Idaho. Really the first one that comes to my mind is working at the crossroads, so working in the food industry. That place I swear is packed all the time, but great way to get some money. I feel like you would meet a lot of people too and just get some solid work experience while you are a student.

But there's also a lot of like fast food jobs, or there's a car place just down the road that's hiring, and there's a lot of jobs.

Student jobs at DYU-Idaho go a little beyond what I was expecting, let's say, because, you know, there are the food court jobs, serving food, cleaning wastebaskets at 4 or 5 a.m. Those jobs exist. Being an international student, I could only work on campus, but I got, I guess you could say, the plum of a job. I'd even been told that they'd already all been taken up, but magically one extra one opened up after I, you know, they needed an extra DJ, an event activity DJ, a campus event DJ. I think that was the official term. So for most of the semesters that I was on campus, I was DJing as my student job and having a great fun at it, too. Most often, I'd be DJing over at Roller Skate at a BYUI Skateway. Great atmosphere, great people, great time. And so, yeah, the student jobs are plentiful. Explore. Search for them.

So while I was at BYU-Idaho almost the entire time I was there, I started my first semester and then almost until my last semester there, I worked at the Math Study Center and this was a great opportunity for me because one, you're able to set your own schedule so it works super super well with your classes and everything else. So if you have an interest in math or are good at math or are interested in teaching and want to get practice explaining things to students better, go talk to Brother O'Shaughnessy and get a job at the Math Study Center.

A really awesome resource that the school has is a job board and they post all sorts of things on there with the requirements. If you just go to the byui.edu and type in job board it'll pop up. They also send out like an email every month I think or like every two weeks or something with updated jobs and stuff. You just look at the requirements, you send in your cover letter and your resume usually works out. You can also donate plasma. Didn't work for me but maybe it'll work for you. But also just a lot of companies around here are wanting to hire help. So look around, find what you want to do, explore a little bit. You're up here to learn and to find out what you want to do with the rest of your life. So make the most of it.
