How to Find and Apply for a Job
Start Early
Jobs are available throughout the year, but the best time to find one is at the beginning of semesters.
Check for Jobs
- Apply for "on-campus" jobs, including all Federal Work-Study and OPS positions, under "GatorJobs" at jobs.ufl.edu. Find off-campus jobs at www.sfa.ufl.edu/job.html.
Get a UF Work Permit to take to all interviews
Students are required to have a UF Work Permit to work on campus. For FWS students, the work permit indicates the number of hours they are authorized to work for the academic year. Students awarded FWS for fall are mailed a UF Work Permit about two weeks before the term begins. If you don’t get a work permit by mail, you must get one from Student Employment (bring a picture ID). You can also request a work permit by calling (352) 392-0296 (you must provide your department’s Post Office Box).
