Finding Student Employment

There are three routes that you can take to begin your search for student employment at Ohio State.

1. Search for employment through Handshake

Ohio State students should check Handshake first when looking for opportunities! If you have never used Handshake to search for employment, follow these steps:

• Go to handshake.osu.edu
• Login using your lastname.#@osu.edu (do NOT use your buckeyemail email)
• Once you are logged into Handshake, go to the "Jobs" section
• Select the “On-Campus” search filter to find and apply for jobs at Ohio State
• If you want to learn more about Handshake, visit the Buckeye Careers’ website

2. Search for employment through Workday

If you are unable to find opportunities that you are interested in on Handshake, you can also check Workday. Current employees and students enrolled at Ohio State can log into their Workday account to view and apply for positions.

3. Search for jobs by department

If you have a specific on-campus job or department in mind, try visiting their website! There is a chance that departments will advertise their open positions online. You can also contact them directly or visit their office in-person!
