Overview

The Career Services Center at Kent State University can help you locate employment opportunities both on and off campus. To locate jobs off campus, search our Flash Forward recruiting system and contact the employer directly. To work on campus you need to first complete the appropriate paperwork.

If you have never worked on campus, you must:

• Personally report to the Career Services Center's Student Employment counter with two forms of I.D. Some examples of acceptable documents include: a Kent State University photo I.D. or driver's license and an original Social Security card. The list of accepted documents is available for your reference if you are unable to bring the documents listed above.
• After proper I.D. is established, you will be required to complete employment forms including city, state and federal tax forms, the Form I-9 for Employment Eligibility Verification, and the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) waiver and/or contribution forms. Then you will be given a Student Appointment Form that your employing department will complete for you.
• Locate on campus position openings in our Flash Forward recruiting system and contact campus employers directly to apply for position openings. The Student Appointment Form should accompany you to each individual interview. Once you have accepted a position, give this form to your employer. Your employer must complete the appropriate section and return the form to Career Services before you begin work.
