Part-Time Job Search: On- and Off-Campus

USING HANDSHAKE TO FIND PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT

On-campus jobs are great opportunities to earn money, gain experience, and get to know MSU better. Many student help positions are posted on Handshake. Please note: Student Financial Services handles work-study assignments. 

Login to your free Handshake account to access both on- and off-campus part-time employment opportunities. If you are new to campus, or are switching job positions, below you will find the step by step instructions to browse positions on Handshake.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. If you are a new student, wait for the University to create your account AFTER you have completed orientation and registered for classes. Shortly after orientation you will receive a welcome e-mail from Handshake to your mnsu.edu inbox– this means your account is ready and you can log in.  If you are a current student, your account is already set-up. 
  2. Click here to log in using your StarID and password (If it is your first time logging in it will guide you through setting up your profile). 
  3. Click on the “Jobs” card. 
  4. Click on oval labelled “On-campus” to find on-campus employment.  
  5. For off-campus part-time jobs, click on oval labelled “Part-time” and filter location to “Mankato, MN” to find jobs in the Mankato and surrounding areas.
