Getting a Job On-Campus
As a student, you can access Handshake for part-time jobs on and off campus with local employers, as well as internship opportunities.
Here are the links to these part-time job opportunities:
Handshake On-Campus Job Opportunities
Handshake Off-Campus Job Opportunities
You must have your resume and cover letter reviewed and approved by your school's Career Services Office. For details, visit these sites:
Pepperdine's Graduate School of Education and Psychology
Pepperdine's School of Public Policy
Students can also apply to positions offered by our on-campus partners:
Bon Appétit Management Company & Starbucks
Pepperdine Bookstore
(Note: if you plan on working for Bon Appetit and/or the E-Follett Pepperdine Bookstore, please check for job listings on the Handshake site in the "off-campus job" category. Even though the position is on campus literally, technically it is categorized
as an "off-campus job", as they are their own business entities. We also encourage
you to contact these employers directly.)
We wish you the best in your job search endeavors. Please let us know how we can
be of assistance.
