Help Wanted

Looking for a job on campus that fits your schedule, builds real-world skills and connects you with the broader Seattle University community? The Spring 2025 On-Campus Job Fair offered just that and much more.

Hosted at the Student Center, in a relaxed, drop-in format, the quarterly event brought together a wide range of campus employers eager to connect with students for a variety of roles. From mentorship and wellness programming to administrative support and creative opportunities, the fair showcased just how many ways students can get involved across campus while getting paid.

This wasn’t your typical career fair. No formal dress code, no resumes required and no high-pressure interviews. Instead, it was a friendly and flexible event designed to make the job search easier and more personal. Students could show up whenever they were free, ask questions face-to-face with hiring teams and learn about positions even before they’re posted online. It was a rare chance to go beyond a screen and have meaningful conversations about what departments are looking for and how to apply.

To make the experience even more inviting, the fair also featured refreshments along with promotional giveaways including stickers, pens and small gifts. It created a relaxed and inclusive experience.
