College jobs in Corvallis?

clacksteel · 09-10-2007, 02:39 PM

I am moving down to Corvallis this Sunday to start college at OSU. Anybody have any jobs ideas around the Corvallis area (college related or otherwise)? I am hoping to get a job by the Winter term (thinking I should take it easy the first term). Any help would be appreciated!

When I was there I worked in the greenhouses on campus. It was very convenient and warm in the winter.

The way things are looking there might be a quarterback position open soon

When I was there I worked in the Botany Department in Richardson Hall. And the library for my last two years there.

There are plenty of places, best bet is to go to Dixon a lot, get to know the people there and work like hell to get a job there. Fun, easy and you can study.

Try the OSU Research Forest. I worked on the logging crew Thursdays and Saturdays when I attended. They have lots of other types of jobs as well.

First, congratulations! College is a terrific experience.

There is a center on campus where you can check for jobs. In fact, I bet if you negotiate the OSU website, you could find the campus job postings online.

Study hard and GO BEAVS!

Seriously though, I would try to find a job through the University. Failing that, there are a ton of pizza places.

I'm an alum... graduated in '93. I had many jobs over the course of my time there.

I would say go after one of the following:

1. A job at a local college hangout, ie: Clodfelters, Beanery, or anywhere students are the primary patrons. They won't be the best paying jobs, but for someone starting out in a new city, there is no better way to meet other students and make friends.

2. I was a catering waiter at what was O'Callahans up on 9th street. The pay is pretty good... back then averaged maybe $12 an hour with tips... plus lot so free food.

If you can afford it... I would at least start with #1.

Good Luck... and GO BEAVS!!!

Foodservice industry, if you can land something better thats great, but in the mean time there's always dishes that need cleaning.

also check with the CMC in Kidder Hall. Many friends worked there, easy work and you dont have to do anything.

or you can be a houseboy at a sorrority. Did that on and off at my old girlfriends sorrority while I was there. Free food monday nights and really easy work. Plus you have an in at the house.

PM me for more details, there are tons of places. I am coming home in October for a week if you dont have anything then maybe I can plug you in to some of the people I know who are still around.

Thanks guys for all your help! I will definitely be looking into some of them! I am always into getting a good word put in for me too!

I graduated OSU in 2003. While going to school I worked at Denson's Feed and Seed. It's located just off of Western St. on 5th or 7th st (sorry I can't remember exactly). There were about 5 of us that worked there all college students. They were real flexible and worked around our class schedules. They are probably hiring right now seeing school is getting ready to start.
