All on-campus jobs require candidates to submit a resume, so BC’s Center for Career Development offers resources to help students develop their materials. You can attend a Resume Workshop or schedule a one-on-one appointment (in-person or virtual) with a Career Center staff member.

  1. Resume & Cover Letter Workshops
    Designed for those who don’t already have resumes and cover letters, these workshops explain the basics so students can develop their own. Sign-up for Workshops.
  2. One-on-One Resume & Cover Letter Review Appointments
    These appointments are for students who have existing resumes and/or cover letters and would like feedback on their content and formatting. Schedule an Appointment.
  3. Online Career Resource Library: bridgewater.edu/career-resource-library/
    The CCD Resource Library provides sample documents and best practices that students should use while developing resumes and cover letters. Here’s a sampling of the resources provided:
  • Resume and cover letter guides and best practices
  • Sample resumes and cover letters
  • Action verbs for resumes and cover letters

Once you’ve been hired for an on-campus job, you’ll receive an email from HR/Student Employment with next steps. The next steps include the following:

  1. Paycom Account Registration and Paycom App download
  2. On-boarding paperwork (student employee checklist in Paycom):
  • Direct Deposit (no paper checks will be issued)
  • Confidentiality statement
  • Tax Forms (Federal & State):
