Does anyone at Rutgers know where I can find a flexible part-time job for students on campus? I only found two campus positions on handshake and haven’t heard back from either yet. I feel like there has to be a lot more out there than what I’ve seen on handshake
Something similar to the digital classroom support specialist or tech help desk would be great. I consider myself tech savvy

Hm. WGU isn’t really a good one to do this with. Asynchronous courses and all.
Best thing is to forge real relationships with instructors. Forget Networking actually be their confidants and they will be your gateway to opportunities.
Start by looking at local groups in your area outside of school for your industry, such as Tech Mixers. I’m in a facebook group for my area and people sometimes post about mixers to network, and sometimes mixers for a soft “hiring events” that are thrown by a company.
I also know community colleges sort of allow alumni or non-students to still attend their events or they seem more lax about it. You could ask if you see a local community college networking event if you can attend.
MeetUp group is a great social platform. Start going to hobby groups that are sort of related to your major or industry, such as there’s this one group in my area that is a Tinker’s Group where they will build electronic cool things and most of them are either actual engineers or people in Tech in software development or IT who love to tinker.
There’s competition events open to people that are industry specific. Sometimes you get put on a team and network with those team mates, sometimes you actually win and network with hiring companies that sponsor the events and even win cash prizes.
You can also just do regular social groups, like sports team for professionals and meet people who play baseball on Saturdays that are also professionals in your industry. Or if you’re a woman there’s a vast amount of women’s groups for professionals that do monthly events. Maybe even just asking your friends if they know anyone in your industry you can talk to.
I seriously get introduced and network in the most unlikely ways. I met someone in my industry in a VanLife group and I don’t even own a van lol.
I agree with the first comment brach out with your instructors. But if you can join student organizations with people in your course. You can network by doing this, meet as many people as you can and try to be genuine.
