If you are seeking an on-campus work study job, you can substitute a completed Student Employment Application for the resume in your profile. Note that you MUST be eligible for Federal Work Study. To check if you are eligible, go to Student Self Service and click on the Financial Aid Tab. Review your awards by clicking My Awards. If you are eligible for Federal Work Study, it will appear in your list of awards. For more information on the Work Study Program, visit the UArts Student Employment page.

If you plan to explore both on-campus work study and off-campus/remote jobs, the app allows you to upload multiple files to the Resume section, so you should include your resume as well as your student employment application.

Touch “Add Video Profile” under your picture and use your phone to record your “elevator speech” promoting yourself to the participating employers.

Now that you have completed your profile, click the “Events” tab at the bottom of the page.

You will see two upcoming events listed:

• UArts Fall 2021 Virtual Part-Time Job Fair: On-Campus Work Study Jobs
• UArts Fall 2021 Virtual Part-Time Job Fair: Off-Campus & Remote Jobs

You can choose to join one or both of these job fairs, depending on the type of job you are seeking.

Once you join, you'll be able to toggle between the two events to see the participating UArts departments and off-campus employers, conduct research to learn more about them and their openings, take notes, and let them know of your interest.

The supervisors and employers will then reach out to you directly to start a dialogue, which may include requesting you to record video answers to specific interview questions, as well as contacting you to schedule an interview. All of this is done using the know.careers app, but the actual interviews will take place externally, arranged directly between the supervisor/employer and you.

While you will have access to the app in advance to create your profile, review the employers and tell them you are interested, the actual connections with employers will be made during the first half of September, from the 1st to the 15th.

Log in anytime that works for you during those two weeks to see which employers have asked you for additional information, including potentially recording video responses to their custom interview questions.

You may also be asked by the employers to directly schedule an interview with them via their own interviewing platform.

The University of the Arts welcomes local Philadelphia-based companies and organizations, as well as those elsewhere offering remote jobs, to participate in the UArts Fall 2021 Virtual Part-Time Job Fair: Off-Campus & Remote Jobs. The fair is being hosted via a platform called Know.Careers that will connect you with students and alumni asynchronously, enabling you to participate at your own convenience.

This free event will be a great way for you to identify and recruit UArts talent for paid, part-time jobs with your organization. You can use this event to fill your current openings or to build a candidate pool for anticipated openings in the future.

The active component of the fair will happen between Wednesday 9/1/2021 and Wednesday 9/15/2021, but you will have access to review student profiles in advance of that week. You will also continue to have access beyond that week. 

The Know.Careers platform will enable you to view the participating student resumes and recorded video profiles and send invites to those of interest requesting they record video responses to your own set of custom questions.

REGISTER BY 8/25 - You must be offering paid employment. No unpaid internships or volunteer positions.
