If so, I would suggest that you attempt to get a part time job with them. That way, when you graduate you will already have your foot in the door!

Good suggestion, but I'm not really sure what I want to do after college.
I'm an English major, with a minor in writing (in progress), and I am not sure what I want to do with that after I graduate.
Lots of good suggestions here..
I filled out an application at UPS' site, but it says they don't have any interview times available right now, so I assume that means they aren't hiring at the one I submitted my application to. Kind of a shame, as it seems like a nice job..
There is a Barnes and Noble around here, and I am considering checking them out. I assume I would be put on register if I got that job, and while I used to be a cashier at my current job, and wasn't overly thrilled about it, I would be rining up books instead of ringing up (and bagging) groceries.
I don't think the pay at BnN here is that great, but it might be a better job than the one I have now; especially considering it may allow me to get more than eight hours a week.
Starbucks is a good suggestion, but I don't think it's my "thing." Seems overwhelming to me, as I don't drink coffee and am not familiar with anything relating to coffee and it's various flavors, etc.
Working on campus is a possibility, but again, I commute 30 miles to class, so it isn't a local job for me.
Has anyone worked at Borders (book store)? I ask because there is a Barnes and Noble and a Borders around here, and I was just curious about which would be the better to apply to, and work at.. Or if they are about the same?
Thanks again for all the replies, and if any of you have any more suggestions, please share them.
Take care.
