Tips


You can make changes/updates to your job posting
at any time by clicking on the ‘Post & View Jobs’ tab
and the ‘Job Title’ of the job you want to change.
When you click on the ‘Job Title’ you will see how
many students have viewed your job posting.
When you click on the ‘Post & View Jobs’ tab, all of
your active job postings will be listed. You will see if
the position has been approved through Career
Services and have the option to ‘Deactivate’ the job
when it is filled.
Tips (continued)


Don’t forget to manage your job postings. Be
sure to deactivate the job if it is filled and look
at student resumes if you are accumulating
online. Get back with students in a timely
fashion so they will want to work for you.
Motivated students will be looking early for
on-campus jobs. If you want those students
to apply for your job, post it well in advance
of the beginning of the semester.
Tips (continued)



Students can register online to use MSU Job-Link by going to
www.moreheadstate.edu/career and clicking on the ‘MSU Job-Link
Log-in & Sign-up for Students’ button.
After you view resumes from applicants, you choose the ones you
want to interview and then offer the position to your top pick. You
will then follow all hiring procedures required by Financial Aid.
Students applying for a Federal position will receive an email/letter
from Financial Aid with the amount awarded to them and
instructions about finding employment through MSU Job-Link. Ask
them to print their award amount off of their WebAdvisor account in
the Portal. You must have a copy of this documentation before
doing the paperwork to hire them.
Tips (continued)

Remember … You must not post your Federal positions in Job-Link
until you receive your Federal Student Employment Allocation from the
Financial Aid office. This tells you how many students you will be
allowed to hire for the coming year and the classification results and
rate of pay for your positions.
