7.	Complete the required employment paperwork (see Appendix A) and return it to the SEC. Students are required to provide original documents that establish identity and employment eligibility. Most commonly used documents are driver license and social security card or driver license and a original or certified copy of a birth certificate. Please check with the Student Employment Center for a complete listing of documents.
8.	Receive a Student Employment Referral Form (see Appendix A) from the SEC.
9.	Contact the prospective employer to schedule an interview. Employer information and the work study award will be on the Student Employment Referral Form.
10.	Meet with the employer. Be prepared to answer questions. It is a good idea for students to bring a copy of their current class schedule, hours available for work and their resume. SEC has resume samples and can provide help with preparation.
11.	If hired, make sure the Student Employment Referral Form is returned to the SEC before beginning work. The Student Employment Referral Form MUST be returned to the Student Employment Center if the student is to be paid for hours worked. Each semester the student employee's work schedule will be determined by the employer's needs as well as the student's availability. Employment is not guaranteed. Students are not permitted to work during the hours they are scheduled to attend class unless the class has been canceled, if so students must obtain supervisory approval. Students are expected to plan their studies, projects and extra-curricular activities around both their class and work schedules.
12.	Keep a log of time worked. Students may be instructed to use a Daily Attendance Record Form (see Appendix A) or a time clock. Paychecks are available bi-weekly, on Thursday, at the student's work site. Paychecks will only be held in the Student Employment Center if necessary documentation is incomplete.
13.	If paycheck errors occur, students should check with their immediate supervisor for assistance.
14.	If not hired, students may return to the Student Employment Center for additional information and referrals to other opportunities.
