Fill out the BSC Job Application (Google Form) to apply! .

Already applied? How to re apply:

  • If you applied after August and kept the link to your application, you can just edit the application. Most important is that you update your availability for the Spring semester. 
  • You should probably also take this time to spruce up your application. I made a page with some tips for filling out the application in a way that might get you interviewed. 
  • If you didn't keep the link, search your email for it. I have it set up to send confirmation emails. If you didn't get one, it might have gone to a hidden folder like "Updates" or (hopefully not) Spam. If neither of those, I think you can use the application link and if you're on the same machine and still have cookies, it will allow you to edit it. If none of that works, email me what jobs you're interested in and we'll figure something out.
  • If you applied PRIOR to August , email me what jobs you're interested in and we can figure it out so you don't have to redo that application.
