IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN FILLING OUT YOUR APPLICATION:
You are only applying for those specific opportunities you have listed on the application. You
CANNOT APPLY FOR STUDENT EMPLOYMENT IN GENERAL, only for specific openings.
A single application can be used to apply for multiple positions.
Be as specific as possible when listing your available hours. You greatly decrease your chances
of being called for an interview if you are not specific about your available hours.
Neatness counts; your application is a reflection of you. A sloppy, incomplete application does
not make your application attractive to a prospective supervisor.
The address used for student employment must be the same as the address you have on file in
Registration and Records. If you have moved, please go to Registration and Records and
complete a change of address form.
If you do not wish to use your Social Security number on your application, you can use your Oakton
identification number. However, if hired you must display your Social Security number on employment
documents.
*Important note: you cannot begin working unless you have a Social Security number which is valid
for employment.
If you are in the U.S. on a Student Visa (F1), Oakton's office of Admission and Enrollment
Management has sole jurisdiction for providing authorization to work in the United States. Admission
and Enrollment Management grants authorization to work and withdraws that authorization if you fall
out of compliance with your Student Visa. It is necessary that you meet with Bunny Lynn, Admission
Specialist, International Students at 847.635.1713.

1. Career Services will forward a copy of your application to the supervisor of each of the positions for which you applied.
2. The supervisor(s) will review the applications and decide which students they would like to interview. If you are selected to be interviewed, the supervisor will contact you directly.
3. If you do not hear from anyone after two weeks, visit Career Services and ask about the status of your application.
4. After you are interviewed:
   - If you will be offered the position, the person who interviewed you will contact you directly to make
   an offer.
   - If you were interviewed but not selected, typically either the supervisor or Career Services will
   telephone you.
5. If you are not hired for any of the positions you applied for, and you are still interested in student employment, it is essential that you apply for other positions. Take a look at the current list of available positions to find out if there are any other positions for which you would like to apply. Make an effort to look at the list regularly, because the list of available positions changes all the time.
