Career Opportunities at UA BookStores
In a retail organization as big as UA BookStores is, one thing is
undisputable–our employees make us great. But it's by no chance that we
have one of the best student teams in the University. Our candidates are
carefully screened and interviewed and selected on the basis of work ethic,
ambition, and customer service abilities.
We hire upwards of 400 student employees every year for short-term and
permanent student positions, and every one of them was selected because they've
illustrated to us that they'll not only be able to work for the BookStores, but
that they'll be able to contribute to the excellent service levels that we
promise to our customers.
Student employment comes with a bunch of very cool benefits, including:
- extremely flexible scheduling around your class schedule (academics come
first)
- a safe and convenient work environment
- competitive student wages
- terrific employee discounts
- Book Loan–eligible student employees borrow their books instead of
buying them (saving hundred of dollars every semester)
- possible opportunities to gain experience in your chosen career field
(especially for our students in Retailing, MIS, Marketing, HR or Accounting)
Student employment is available for any currently enrolled student at The
University of Arizona or Pima Community College, and the UA BookStores Student
HR team is always reviewing applications.
The interviewing process for open student positions during our peak selling
seasons in the Fall and Spring begin every May and October, respectively.
Do you offer internships?
Not usually, and when we do, it's under very special arrangements. In most
situations, the student and the BookStores benefit more from traditional student
employment. If you have a request about a specific type of internship, please
contact our Student HR Office at 520-621-8858.
Can you accommodate Work Study?
Absolutely. Please contact your Financial Aid advisor to confirm your work
study eligibility and then
contact our Student HR team regarding your opportunities here at the
BookStores. Work study candidates must still complete a
Student Employment Application online. More information about the Work Study
program is available on the University's
Financial Aid website.
