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.
- Jobnet is student's primary source for student job
searches.
- Jobnet is available 24/7 through internet access.
- Jobnet is accurate, up to date and easy!
- Jobnet allows students to perform multiple searches,
quickly.
- 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?
- Fill out a Job Description Form (as discussed in
Section I) available on our website or via blitz
- Return the Job Description Form to SEO via blitz, fax or
HB. The information will be entered into our database.
- 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.
- 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?
- Easy for employers to reach students, they are assured a higher percentage
of qualified applicants because Jobnet provides a larger pool of students.
- Search can be more selective
- Positions are usually filled within a week.
- Its quick and easy, students don't have to spend a long time
searching.
- Students are better informed about the position being offered enabling them
to make better decisions about where to apply.
- It's free!

information about these jobs, click on the Jobnet Number. It is here you will

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.
