Thank you for your interest in applying for a student position with the USC Libraries! Please read the following important information so that you understand the USC Libraries' hiring process. For more information including the maximum weekly hours that can be worked see Student Employees at USC.
How to apply for a job with the USC Libraries:
On December 1, 2025, the USC Libraries transitioned to Handshake for all student worker hiring.
Please review details on the USC Career Center website about creating an account and applying for jobs on Handshake.
Please do not reach out to USC Libraries employees about student worker opportunities, all available positions are posted on Handshake.
What happens after applying online:
Your application will be immediately forwarded to the hiring manager for review and consideration. Should you meet the minimum qualifications, the hiring manager will contact you directly (via phone or email) to set up an interview.
Due to the high volume of resumes received, you may not hear back from a hiring manager for several weeks. However if, after 4 weeks from your submission date, you still have not heard from a hiring manager, you may reasonably assume that your application was not a good job match.
You are welcome to apply for other student jobs as they become available on our website.
We wish you great success in your future endeavors!
