How do I Apply?
- For On Campus Positions
- All WMU departments accept the Universal Student Employment Application form. This form is available in the BroncoJOBS Office, 1334 Ellsworth Hall, or it can be filled out and printed. To apply to several departments, complete the form except the department and job title, make sufficient copies of the form, and enter department name and job title for each department before completing it with department and position titles. Some job postings may not require an application form. Some departments may require additional application materials, such as a resume and/or letter of application. Several of the larger campus employers (such as libraries, food service, and recreation center) provide their own application.
- Apply directly to the WMU department following the instructions given in the job posting. Some may request a phone call, a mailed, faxed, or emailed application form or resume, or ask applicants to stop by in person. Many departments post their jobs on their own web sites. Use the University Directory for accessing these web sites.
- You don't need to wait for jobs to be posted on BroncoJOBS to circulate the on-campus application form. Just send the application or visit any department in which you have an interest, and ask the department to keep the application on file.
- For Off-Campus Positions
- Apply directly to employers following the directions given in each job posting. Most ask for resumes by mail, fax, or e-mail or accept phone calls to indicate interest.
- For help in creating a resume and cover letter, contact Career and Student Employment Services. See our Career Guide for examples.
- At the request of employers, temporary jobs may also be listed on BroncoJOBS. If you identify work of immediate interest, you may take the initiative to contact the employer directly as indicated on the job position. You will also find job postings for local residences such as child care and yard work.
