Earn extra income while on campus, make friends, have fun and learn something by being a campus Dining Services employee. We offer flexible hours to fit your class schedule, competitive wages and the benefit of working “close to home.”

Work this semester -

We are the largest employer of current Eastern University students, and for good reason

• We are the highest paying job on campus - up to $1.60 more per hour to start
• No car needed! Don't waste your money on gas, and don't waste your time hunting for a space in the parking lot.
• We have the most hours available - We have shifts from 6 am until midnight, so we can work around your class schedule. And you can work however many hours you want to - from as little as 5 per week to a maximum of 20 per week.*
• FWS preferred, but not required - We are one of the very few departments that accept applications from students who did not qualify for Federal Work Study (FWS); we also use Eastern Campus Employment (ECE). In addition, most departments will not allow you to earn more than your FWS award, capping your pay at $1200 or $1400 for the entire year. Our employees often earn more than that in just a couple months, and we will let you earn more than your FWS award.
• A great variety of jobs and locations - We offer four different food service locations, with dozens of different job responsibilities to keep you from getting bored.
• Promotions & Pay Raises! All students are eligible for merit-based pay raises, and some locations offer supervisor and management promotions for student workers.

But working in the Dining Services is not for everyone.

• It is a food service job, and there are a number of food safety regulations we must follow (such as no jewelry, no false fingernails or nail polish, and you must wear a hat or hair net).
• We require a uniform (a polo shirt and hat that we provide, plus either your own pair of black slacks, or black slacks that we provide).
• We are the highest paying job on campus for a reason. Our work is fun and satisfying, but you should expect to work harder than you will at many on campus jobs.

A complete Food Handler job description is available to to the right.

We also have two non-food positions available. These jobs require a resume and a full interview.

• Office Assistant:
  • Work 5-10 hours a week on various office tasks, including filing, web site updates, student timecards and other light office work.
  • This position can easily be combined with a Food Handler position.
  • Must be available to start work in August, one week before classes begin. (Free room & board for that week will be provided to resident students)
  • A complete job description is available to the right.
  • Interested? Submit a resume to the Retail Manager in the Dining Commons.

 

• Marketing Assistant/Student Promotion Coordinator:
  • Work 10-20 hours a week assisting in on campus marketing and special events planning.
  • This position may be eligible for EU Internship credits.
  • This is a professional position; appropriate attire is required.
  • Must be available to start work in August, one week before classes begin. (Free room & board for that week will be provided to resident students).
  • A complete job description is available to the right.
  • Interested? Submit a resume to the Retail Manager in the Dining Commons.

Work this summer -

• Get an extra $1000 or more this summer - We pay up to $1.60 per hour more than most on campus jobs, plus possible paid overtime, plus we do not have any mandatory vacation, and that adds up by the end of the summer.
• Get an extra $100 this fall - We give out a $100 bonus on your E-Card in the fall semester (restrictions apply; see dining services management for details).

• Save $4500 with FREE room & board - Work full time over the summer and you could qualify for free room & board all summer. (Restrictions apply; see the Housing Office for details. Must be a resident student for both the Spring 2010 and Fall 2010).
• Federal Work Study not required, but preferred. And if you work with us, you probably will earn much more than your FWS award.
• You never have to work past 7:30 pm so you still have time to enjoy your summer.
• Two optional weeks of vacation so you can still go home and see your family and friends.
• Have more fun this summer! The campus is beautiful, and over the summer you can really appreciate it. Did you know there is a pool on campus? And over the summer parking is plentiful?
