The SIEO is committed to posting positions of interest to UWSP Students. The
UWSP SIEO resources are provided free of charge to employers and to student job
seekers. All hiring and compensation for work performed by student employees is
handled directly between the student and the employer. The SIEO does not perform
background checks on students applying for jobs, nor on employers posting job
opportunities. Employers and students are encouraged to request reference
information from each other as needed to establish qualifications, credentials
and overall fit between the employer and the student applicant.
All job
listings are posted at the discretion of the SIEO. We will not post jobs that
appear to discriminate against applicants on the basis of race, color, religion,
creed, age, national origin, disabled or Vietnam Era veteran status, sexual
orientation, disability, or gender. The SIEO will not post jobs that require
purchase of a product(s), a financial investment to be employed, or positions
that are strictly commission-based. All posted positions are required to have an
hourly wage or posted salary.
The UWSP SIEO provides a referral service
and makes no particular recommendations regarding employers. We make no
representations or guarantees about positions posted by this office. We are not
responsible for safety, wages, working conditions, or any other aspect of
off-campus employment. Both students and employers are encouraged to provide
feedback to the SIEO regarding their employment experience through using the
listing service.
Watch for these types of employment/internet
scams:
- Money Transfers. Be wary of any individual or business who asks you to cash
checks and then purchase money orders and send to another location. The job may
be disguised as a childcare position (or other “normal” posting) initially.
Once you contact the employer they may then ask you to accept some financial
correspondence until they arrive in town for you to do the original
job.
- Work-At-Home. If an opportunity sounds too good to be true, be
cautious.
- Business Opportunity Fraud. “Make thousands!” “Great Opportunity!” Again,
if these positions were so great wouldn’t everyone be doing it? Many of these
positions may ask you to purchase items to re-sell. Read the fine print. Are
you able to return the merchandise for a full refund if you don’t sell it? Can
you get your initial investment back if you decide to not continue with the
“opportunity?” Are they asking a parent or “adult” to co-sign with
you?
