Here are some answers to frequently asked questions. If the answer to your question is not listed down below, please feel free to reach out via email, phone or come see us in our office.
-
What if my student employment application is saving blank or not saving my information?If your student employment application is saving blank, please make sure you are first downloading and saving the document in Adobe, THEN filling it out. If you fill out the document in a web browser, your answers will not save. If you are still struggling with the application, please print it, fill it out, scan it, and upload the document as a PDF in your “My Documents” in SHIP Career Connection. You can also call the Office of Human Resources with any concerns: 717-477-1124 or email us at studentpayroll@ship.edu. Alternatively, you can stop by our office in-person with any questions you have or if you need to print out the application. We are in Old Main, 109.

When I try to upload my student employment application and/or resume, it says my documents are too large. What should I do?Please email your documents to studentpayroll@ship.edu and we will upload them to your account. You will still need to follow the steps above to “apply” to the positions you want.
-
Can I turn in a paper copy of the application to the department I want to work in?No, you will need to have the file uploaded in our system to stay compliant with PA State Law.
-
I haven’t heard back from any of the positions I applied for. What should I do?If you haven’t heard back from your applications, and it has been longer than two weeks since you applied, you can reach out to the department directly and ask about the status of their search process.
-
Do I need to fill out a separate student employment application for each job I apply to?No, the same student employment application can be used for each job you apply to. However, some jobs require an “application addendum” with additional information they are seeking specific to that job. You will need to fill out and upload BOTH the student employment application and the application addendum. See the instructions above for more details.
-
This job has two applications- one is the student employment application, and one is called an addendum application. Do I have to fill out both? How do I upload the addendum application?Yes, you will need to fill out, save, and upload both documents to apply to the position. Please follow the steps above under “Uploading Documents.”
