If you haven’t already found a great summer job, it’s not too late. It is hard to think about what you may be doing in 6 months, but finding a job sooner rather than later is worth it. Wait until May to find a summer job and you will be stuck with the jobs that no one else wanted. I have friends who have had good luck looking on Monster for summer jobs and I have also heard a lot of good things about Snag A Job which has a lot of listings for hourly employment. These jobs usually have flexible hours. Seek ones that are related to your major or skills you have, but if you can’t find one, a future employer will still respect the fact that you worked rather than just sitting on your parents’ couch all summer. At the time of this post, there are 41 jobs listed in the zipcode for State College. These are just a couple of places to begin your summer job search. Good luck!

You must be a currently enrolled Penn State student to work any of the following jobs:
Wage Payroll Positions – You can apply for these jobs as long as you are a student. You don’t need to have Federal Work-Study funding.
Penn State Information Technology Services – Part-time student positions like lab consultant, helpdesk consultant, IT support, etc.
Food Services – I hear good things about food services positions. You won’t have the freedom to do your homework, but these positions are flexible, pay decently, and are on campus. They also offer flexible scheduling.
Hospitality Services - Work for the Nittany Lion Inn, football games, etc. Apply through the Penn State Human Resources site.
So there you go, those are all the links I could find for on-campus work. Good luck!
