FINDING A JOB AT MINES

 

The best place for students to look for opportunities on-campus is in DiggerNet.  Departments post their immediate needs in this on-line system, with descriptions of the duties and instructions on best ways to apply. To locate these jobs, the student will:

 

A) Access Trailhead and click on the DiggerNet icon.

 

B) Upload a resume under My Account/Documents.

 

C) Create a Job Search, entering CSM in the Organization Name field (or click on Position Type: On-Campus).

 

D) Save the search and create a Job Agent to receive email notification of new positions as they come in.

 

Most positions allow for initial contact to be through direct submission of a resume through DiggerNet; others have departmental forms to complete or request in-person application. Students are invited to ask Career Center staff for help with looking for positions and creating an appropriate resume; students are also advised to realistically predict their best hours of availability to work (looking at their class schedule) prior to contacting the department who will interview the student for fit for the job. Students are not guaranteed to find a position and are encouraged to seek jobs early in the semester (though throughout the year positions may become available). When beginning the job search, be sure to visit the Human Resources Department in the Guggenheim Building and/or visit the website: http://inside.mines.edu/New_Employee_Information.  All forms must be complete and submitted to Human Resources prior to the student beginning in the new job.
