UNH is what we call “home” and “school,” but have you ever thought about working for the University of New Hampshire Department of Housing? There are tons of benefits to working on campus, including potential opportunities for a federal work-study, competitive wages, free counseling with Wildcat Career and Professional Success and attaining leadership skills that you’ll use in your future career. Not to mention, it’s on campus, which means you don’t have to worry about a commute. Now, take that information and multiply it by 100, because here are five more great reasons to work for UNH Housing this summer.
1.) Your Work and Your Home, All in One Place
No place to crash? No worries. UNH offers housing options in the summer, so you don’t need to worry about transportation to and from work. Also, Housing is conveniently located near downtown Durham, so grabbing groceries after you clock-out is a cinch.
2.) Weekends Off
That’s right. Just like a typical school week, at Housing you’ll work full-time Monday through Friday, but come Saturday and Sunday, you can relax, take Wildcat Transit into Portsmouth for summer concerts in Prescott Park or do any number of other fun down-time activities.
3.) On-Site Gym
Your student membership to the Hamel Rec Center doesn’t expire at the end of the academic year, which means when you’re not working you can take advantage of all the activities Hamel Rec has to offer, including free swimming in the eight-lane pool, equipment rentals and newly installed cardio machines. After assembling furniture or painting interiors, won’t it be nice to rest your muscles in the sauna or chill by the pool?
4.) The Days Fly By
It’s an ever-changing, fast-paced environment, which means you’ll be clocking-out even though it feels as if the day just started. Also, Housing is full of diverse and interesting individuals. Bottom line: You’ll never be bored.
5.) Work with Wildcats
Need I say more? At Housing, you’ll work side-by-side with students just like you. It’s not camp – it’s better. Plus, UNH Housing hosts potlucks and ice cream socials for its employees.
There’s no question as to whether UNH Housing is a great place to work. By the end of the summer, you’ll have acquired not only a great deal of experience for your resume but also some great memories.
