If you\u2019re a student, there\u2019s a good chance that you want to make some extra money for your own personal funds. As college undergrads, we could always use some cash to fuel our eating out and Starbucks habits. The phrase \u201cbroke college student\u201d may be a stereotype, but I\u2019ve found it to be true more often than not. Whether you have an off-campus job, or maybe a work study opportunity here at BU, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll still want a quick and easy way to bring in some extra cash, especially with the holiday season (and the ensuing gift-giving frenzy) coming upon us. Or maybe you\u2019re too busy for a full-time job, and you\u2019re dying to find a simple way to bring in a little extra money here and there. Well, fret no more. I am here to inform you of one of BU\u2019s most well-kept secrets: the Quick Job Listings Page.<\/span><\/p>\n

**DISCLAIMER: This is NOT sponsored by Quick Jobs. To be honest, I\u2019m just a really big fan of this resource and I\u2019ve had great experiences with it, so I thought I would share it with everyone. I swear they\u2019re not paying me to write this, but I will say that if they wanted me to be an ambassador for them I\u2019d be down.**<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Quick Jobs?
\n<\/strong>This portal on the Student Link is a list of one-time jobs and opportunities, both paid and unpaid, that are available to students. Many of them are on-campus and pay pretty well (at least $15 an hour). I\u2019ve personally participated in a couple of focus groups and studies, which were actually pretty fun and easy! A lot of the studies are done by undergrad or grad students in the lab at Sargent, which is on-campus and easily accessible. And if studies aren\u2019t your jam, there are other opportunities listed! I have friends who have found babysitting, videography, and research assistant positions on the portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Access Quick Job Listings:
\n<\/strong>First, you have to log into Student Link. On the homepage, you\u2019ll see a teal colored tab labelled \u201cWork.\u201d Click on this link.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PHOTO1\"<\/p>\n

Once on the \u201cWork\u201d menu, click on the link that says \u201cQuick Jobs.\u201d This will bring you to a menu with a bunch of options for categories. For jobs that are easily accessible, I would recommend using the category \u201cOn-Campus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PHOTO2\"Once you have selected this category, you\u2019ll be brought to a page with a list of available studies and opportunities you can participate in. A lot of them pay pretty well and are easy to get to because they\u2019re on campus!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PHOTO3\"I\u2019ve done a couple of studies and only have good things to say about them. For a speech comprehension study, I went into the lab at Sargent for an hour a day for 5 days and read sentences off a screen for $20 an hour. Not bad!<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Sign Up:
\n<\/strong>If you\u2019re interested, they\u2019re pretty easy to sign up for. Just click the title of the job you\u2019re interested in and click on the job number for contact info. A lot of the people conducting studies are undergrad students who are super approachable, so don\u2019t get intimidated by the idea of contacting them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, I would highly recommend trying this out! It\u2019s an easy and fun way to make some extra money on campus, and everyone that I know who has tried it out has had positive experiences \ud83d\ude42 Now go get your study on!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
