Job & Internship Opportunities
The Beth Ray Student Center is looking for accounting tutors for athletes. Here’s a link to the job description.
OSU Business Center:
The Auxiliaries & Activities Business Center (AABC) at Oregon State University is hiring student finance & accounting assistant employees. Student accounting assistants help with financial document processing including scanning and entering invoices/journal vouchers/purchase orders, running reports, facilitating cash deposits for departments and student organizations, distributing manual paychecks, assisting with vault responsibilities, and completing special projects as assigned. Student employees also assist walk-in customers and respond to phone/email inquiries in the Finance and Accounting office located in the Student Experience Center.
Please find attached the job description for the position and the application to apply. To apply for the position, please submit a completed application with a cover letter and resume to the email address aabc.sec@oregonstate.edu OR drop off the application materials at the Student Experience Center, Suite 350 M-F between 8AM-5PM. The type of students that we are trying to hire can come from any major, however, in the past, a majority have been business students, specifically accounting or finance majors. This position usually takes about half a year to a year to be fully trained and for students to be confident about the tasks they are performing. Therefore, the AABC-SEC is particularly looking for freshmen and sophomores to hire. But of course juniors are equally considered. I have attached the application form and the description of the position to the email. To apply for the position, a completed application with a cover letter and resume need to be sent to aabc.sec@oregonstate.edu or dropped off at the Student Experience Center, Suite 350 M-F between 8AM-5PM. The applications cannot be submitted through the OSU jobs website online.
The application deadline is Sunday, March 26th. There will be 2 info sessions hosted for students to learn more about the position and office in advance of the application deadline. The dates are Friday, March 10 at 4pm and Sunday, March 12 at 4pm at the SEC Suite 350.
** Excellent Opportunity — read this comment from a fellow student I received this morning.
Fellow student: I am currently in Los Angeles working for Mercury Insurance, a casualty insurance company in California. My last day of the internship is March 15th. Would you please help Mercury make an announcement to your students? The Company is coming to campus to recruit interns next week.
Internship Opportunity: For the past years Mercury Insurance Group has offered OSU students the opportunity to be a part of our summer Finance and Accounting internship program.

The internship position is posted on the OSU Beavers Career website under Job ID # 16122, but I have also attached a copy of the job post for your convenience.

Workload 15 hours/week but negotiable either way. Lots of growth potential, including steep wage increases. Complete flexibility on work schedules. I would train them and gradually pass more responsibility onto them as they settle into the position.
