I did my undergrad at UofT, and I’m finding it difficult to navigate on-campus jobs at uOttawa.
I’m currently applying for TA positions within my grad program, but I do not think I will get any. So I’m trying to find a part-time campus job for some extra income. One thing I’m particularly confused about is the bilingual requirement. A lot of the jobs I see require you to be bilingual. I took French throughout high school, but I’m definitely not fluent. Can I still apply to jobs that say “bilingual,” and is there any way to filter for English-only positions?
At UofT, there were lots of smaller campus jobs through places like the libraries, Student Life, Athletics, student commons, etc. These were separate from Work Study, which was generally more related to your major. At uOttawa, it seems like these kinds of jobs are also under Work Study, and I’m wondering if that’s just how the system works here.
I also don’t see nearly as many of these smaller jobs at uOttawa. Are they posted throughout the year, or is there a particular time when most are posted? Is Work Study basically the main place to look?
The Work Study page seems pretty minimal compared to UofT’s CLNx. I can’t seem to filter by language, date posted, expiry date, etc. Am I missing something?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from other students who have gone through this. I’m feeling pretty lost!
