  2. The second method is to look at available positions posted on the Golden Hire Network by following the instructions below:
  • From your ORU Golden Hire Network account, click on the "Jobs and Internships" tab on the top navigation bar

  • When applying for an opening, fill out the application and the course schedule page completely. Be sure to indicate both your course schedule as well as available work hours.
  • When you have completely filled out your application, save the completed document to your computer. Be sure to rename this for each position you fill it out for.
  • A separate application must be submitted for each position you are applying for; tailor your application to the job description of the open position. 


Step 6 - Submit your Application to an open Work Study Position

  • On the ORU Golden Hire Network, under the job you are applying for, there will be instructions on how to submit your application. Review the "How to Apply" section of the job posting.
  • Generally hiring managers want applications submitted one of two ways:
    • E-mail your completed application directly to the hiring manager or
    • Hand deliver your application to the hiring manager.
  • In both cases follow-up with the hiring manager within a day or two by e-mail, phone or in person to see where they are in the hiring process.
  • Keep a copy of your completed application to bring to Career Services in the event that you obtain the position. 


Step 7 – Complete Employment Processing with Career Services

  • You must take your Campus Work Study Employment Form to the Career Services Department (LRC 510)
  • This form must be signed by your hiring manager
  • If your I-9 documentation is current(including valid ID(s) being on file with Career Services), your paperwork will be processed and your hiring manager will be notified
  • Once your employment has been approved by the Career Services Department you can begin planning your work schedule with your hiring manager and schedule your start date.
