Frequently Asked Questions
How can I enhance my resume?
Can I meet with NU Student Temps?
Due to overwhelming demand, NU Student Temps staff cannot meet with every applicant, and we cannot meet students on a drop-in basis. Appointments are by invitation only.
What kinds of jobs does NU Student Temps recruit for?
We often provide staff for administrative/office/front desk, accounting, finance, data analysis, graphic design, web design, and event support jobs.
How do you match students to jobs?
Every job has its own set of requirements. We review applicants to find the most suitable profiles for each position. We then short-list candidates for the hiring manager’s review. The hiring manager typically interviews candidates as well and then selects the candidate(s) they would like to hire.
What are the requirements to become part of NU Student Temps?
Any student is welcome to apply to become part of NU Student Temps.
We have found that hiring managers are looking for independent, professional candidates who need very little on-the-job training. Because of this, many roles also require years of professional experience. Some jobs may also require a specific technical skillset. All jobs require strong communication and time management skills.
Can NU Student Temps create more on-campus jobs?
Unfortunately, we cannot create jobs for students, but we do encourage hiring managers to consider NU Student Temps for all of their hiring needs.
Can I volunteer through NU Student Temps?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer unpaid, volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in unpaid experiences to build your resume, check out Forage through the Career Design Center.
