Job Search Basics
While a Cornell student employment job may not directly align with your ultimate career goals, you should still take the job preparation and interview process seriously. It can mean landing a job that you really need, while also giving you a leg up post-graduation when careful job preparation and interviewing are essential. Obtaining a part-time, hourly job at Cornell University is simple if you follow these steps.
Working on Campus?
Bring your original, unexpired identity and employment authorization document(s) with you to campus so that you can complete your Form I-9. Your hiring department is your primary point of contact for the I-9 process. However, because the start of the semester often brings a high volume of new hires, Cornell will offer Student I-9 Processing HUBs in Day Hall, Suite 150 and Statler Hall, Suite 135, during the weeks of August 24th and August 31st. Visit Student I-9 Processing Hubs for Fall 2026 for more information. Questions? contact hrpolicy@cornell.edu.
