Frequently Asked Questions

When an employer creates a job posting and pays for the listing they have the option to receive E-Notifications.  By turning E-Notifications on, the employer will receive an automated email every time a student creates a profile that matches the employers posting.

Say an employer posts an Internship position at CollegeHelpers.com and would like only the students of ABC University to be able to see the posting.  A student at ABC University creates an Internship profile in their account.  As soon as the student makes his posting, the employer will receive an email stating that there is a new profile that matches their job description.  At this point the employer can log in and see the new student profile.

Good question!

• You may not be paying enough in comparison to other jobs.  Look at the rates on the "stats" page to see if your pay rates are in line with others.
• Have you provided enough detail about your job?  Students like to know what they will be doing and they also like to know who they will be working for.  Try to portray a clear picture not just of the job responsibilities, but also the atmosphere of the office/home, people they will be working with and why this role is important.
• If you're requiring the student to use their own car for the job be sure to include if you are willing to compensate for gas/travel.
• You may have entered incorrect contact information in your listing.  Check your listing to make sure all of the contact info is correct.
• How many times has your posting been viewed?  If nobody has viewed your job posting, make sure that you have paid for the listing and that it is marked as Visible.
• What time of year is it?  Remember that students are, after all, students.  If your job is during finals, mid-terms, breaks, or requires a large time commitment, they may not have the time to commit to a job.  Try increasing the pay or expanding your listing to include additional schools.

If you just want to make your posting Invisible simply click on the Visible status link on your home page to toggle between the two.

At CollegeHelpers.com we promote your posting 2 ways:

1. Online where students can access your information directly.
2. We post your job listing at the schools you indicated.  To do this we email or fax your posting to the office responsible for managing off-campus employment.  However, we do not provide your contact information in that posting.  Instead, we direct the students to our website with a posting number that they can enter once they log in to get all of your contact information.  By doing this YOU remain in control of when, how and who contacts you about your job.   So, even if a school neglects to update their job posting records you can help control your employee search on your timeline.

Good question!

• Check to make sure that your profile posting is still active and doesn't need to be renewed.
• Make sure that your contact information is listed correctly.
• How many times has your profile been viewed?  If nobody has viewed your profile, make sure that it is marked as Visible.
• Does your profile portray you in a positive way?  Make sure there aren't any spelling or grammatical mistakes.

• Golden Rule - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
• Legitimate jobs NEVER ask you to deposit a cashier's check!
• Legitimate jobs NEVER ask you to be a Mystery Shopper!
• Legitimate jobs NEVER need someone to manage their US orders
• Legitimate jobs NEVER pay a lot of money for doing very little work!!
• Real jobs for college students NEVER pay $800 a week or more, especially if you get to stay in your room to work!!!
• Legitimate employers NEVER ask you to send them personal information like a Social Security Number or Bank Account Number!
• ALWAYS tell us if you think a job is fraudulent!
• When in doubt research the company or Google a key phrase in the job posting!
• Did I mention that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is?!
