Advertising Student Positions

Jobnet is the web based database used by SEO to maintain a complete listing of student jobs. SEO Jobnet is your primary source for advertising a student position, because it is available to all Dartmouth students day and night. Jobnet is accessible on our website at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~seo/. Currently Jobnet holds over 1400 jobs, with hundreds advertised daily.

When to Advertise

SEO recommends advertising 3 weeks prior to the end of term for enrolled work-study students and 3 - 5 weeks prior to the end of term for leave term work-study students. Temp Jobs, by their nature may be posted in a shorter time frame.

Generally speaking, students on leave term work 35 hours a week and live on or near campus. We encourage students to start looking for their leave term early, whereas students need to make housing arrangements.

Reasons to advertise early:

  • Gives both employer and student peace of mind, knowing something is set up upon the students return
  • There is no last minute scrambling
  • Paper work can be completed in advance

How to Advertise

SEO recommends you advertise with SEO Jobnet for these reasons.

  1. Jobnet is student's primary source for student job searches.
  2. Jobnet is available 24/7 through internet access.
  3. Jobnet is accurate, up to date and easy!
  4. Jobnet allows students to perform multiple searches, quickly.
  5. Jobnet Numbers are required on all student timesheets, the form will have to be filled-out anyway.

To start the process you will need to complete a job description form. SEO will then be able to provide you with a Jobnet Number. The Jobnet Number is crucial to the payroll process. It is this job number that will decipher which funds your student employee will be paid through.

SEO will also assist employers by putting up fliers and posters about a student position. Employers may also list their positions in The Dartmouth for a fee.

Please remember to put your Jobnet Number on each student timesheet

How does SEO Jobnet Work?

  1. Fill out a Job Description Form (as discussed in Section I) available on our website or via blitz
  2. Return the Job Description Form to SEO via blitz, fax or HB. The information will be entered into our database.
  3. A Jobnet Number and Classification will be assigned at this time. SEO will blitz this information to you along with a copy of your job listing as it will appear on Jobnet. Please keep a copy for your records.
  4. To change the status of a current position, blitz SEO with the Jobnet Number and the changes you wish to make. Common changes may include rate of pay, contact name, period of employment and active/inactive status. SEO will make the changes and blitz the updated information to you.

REMEMBER! SEO Jobnet is useful only when it is accurate. Students become discouraged when they contact employers who are listed on SEO Jobnet only to find that they are not hiring. Employers will save time and energy by contacting SEO as soon as a position is filled.

How do Employers benefit from using SEO Jobnet?

  1. Easy for employers to reach students, they are assured a higher percentage of qualified applicants because Jobnet provides a larger pool of students.
  2. Search can be more selective
  3. Positions are usually filled within a week.
  4. Its quick and easy, students don't have to spend a long time searching.
  5. Students are better informed about the position being offered enabling them to make better decisions about where to apply.
  6. It's free!

Student Temp Job Service

The Temp Job Service was created to accommodate jobs that don't necessarily fall into the guidelines of Jobnet. These jobs are usually one time only, seasonal or "odd jobs". The purpose of Student Temp Job Service is to give the Dartmouth Community and the Upper Valley a free alternative to advertising for student help. Temp jobs have consisted of shoveling snow, gardening, babysitting, help moving furniture, setting up computers, general office work for a day and the like. Dartmouth students monitor Blitz Bulletin to keep informed of these postings.

Contact the Student Employment Office if you wish to make use of this service.

Much like Jobnet, we will ask you to fill out and return a Temp Job Form. This is available on our website or via blitz mail.

We will post your position up to 2 weeks on the SEO Blitz Bulletin. Students who monitor our bulletin will respond to you directly.

Very rarely are these positions approved for work-study funds.
