they can search job listings anytime. Students do not need to come
into our office to get referrals. You also have the opportunity to
reach students from many area schools with one listing. To learn more,
contact www.monstertrak.com
or call 800-999-8725. **You still must fill out a separate form in
order to post on the on-campus boards.

Can students search for jobs online?
Students can search for jobs that are posted on
www.monstertrak.com.
Jobs that are posted on on-campus boards can be found in our office on
clipboards and a bulletin board near the Fullerton College Quad on the 500
building.
(back to top)
Do you place students with employers?
We post advertisements for employers. Interested
students read a brief description of the position and qualifications and
then request contact information for that employer. Students are
responsible for contacting the employer in the manner the employer specified
and arranging for an interview.
(back to top)
Do you prescreen students interested in applying?
We require that students show proof of enrollment in
order to use our services. Students are responsible for reviewing the
referral information and determining whether or not they are qualified or
eligible for the position.

How do I post an internship opportunity?
You can post an internship opportunity by filling out
a job posting form. If you would like to arrange for students to
obtain class credit, you will need to contact the appropriate department.

How long does it take for my job to go on the board after you receive it?
It usually takes our staff 1-2 working days to process
your job order and put it on our job boards. MonsterTRAK jobs are
posted online almost immediately.
(back to top)
How long is a job left on the job board?
You can contact our office anytime to take down your
job listing. If you do not choose to list a closing date for your job
opening, you will be contacted by our staff after at least 30 days. If
you do not respond after 1 week, we will assume that the position is no
longer available.
(back to top)
How many job postings can I send in at a time?
You can send as many positions in at a time as you
like, using a separate job posting form for each position. Please do
not send duplicates, your first posting will stay up for 30 days (see above
question).

Students
How do I register with the
Workforce Center?
In order to register you need to be a current
Fullerton or Cypress College student or a recent graduate. You must
bring in proof of enrollment (printout or updated student ID) and a photo
ID.
(back to top)
How frequently are jobs posted/updated?
Jobs are updated every day at the Workforce Center.
Jobs are even added through MonsterTRAK when the Center is closed. Our
staff works throughout the year to add new jobs, update job information and
contact employers concerning the status of the position.
(back to top)
Does the Workforce Center place students with employers?
We help you with every aspect of your job search from
posting listings, to resume help to interview tips. However, students
are responsible for ultimately contacting the employer, applying in the
manner specified by the employer and arranging for an interview themselves.
(back to top)
What is work-study? How
do I qualify?
Work-study is a type of financial aid disbursement in
which students have the opportunity to work for certain employers in return
for financial aid for school. Not all students are eligible for work
study, eligibility is determined by type of financial aid awarded.
Contact the Financial Aid Department to learn more.
(back to top)
What kinds of jobs do you have?
We have a wide variety of job opportunities for every
student. We have entry-level, professional level, skilled, unskilled,
temporary, permanent, part-time, full-time, and internship opportunities.
Our job categories include accounting, clerical, customer service, health,
legal, computer, sales and marketing, education, child development, food
service and many more!
(back to top)
Do you have advertisements for on-campus jobs?
Sometimes we do. You can find on-campus listings
on the job posting board outside the workforce center or in binders inside our office. However, since departments are
not required to advertise with us, there are many unadvertised opportunities
out there. We recommend that students directly contact the department
of interest and inquire about student hourly positions. If you are
interested in working on campus you should begin your search early and check
back frequently, since these positions are in very high demand.
(back to top)
Do students find jobs through the Workforce Center?
All the time! We hear back from newly employed
students every semester. We would like to hear from more though!
If you got a job through the Workforce Center or MonsterTRAK, please let us
know!
(back to top)
Can I view job postings online?
You can view MonsterTRAK jobs online at
www.monstertrak.com. Please
come into our office to obtain a password. If the job number is listed
as Non-MonsterTRAK, please bring that number into our office and fill out a
referral form.
(back to top)
Do I really need a resume?
Yes you do! Many employers require a resume in
addition to the traditional application. Even someone with very little
work experience can put together a resume. We offer
on-line resources, handouts,
workshops, and personalized assistance for resumes.
(back to top)
Do I really need a cover letter?
Yes you do! A cover letter is your professional
introduction to the company you are applying to. Often the cover
letter is the difference between your resume landing on the right desk or
landing in the trash can. The letter should contain information not
listed on your resume about why you are a good candidate for the position.
Cover letters should be addressed to the appropriate individual whenever
possible. Learn more about cover letters
on-line!
(back to top)
Can someone help me with my resume?
We offer resume workshops and personalized resume
assistance during the regular Spring and Fall Semesters. Call or come
in person to make an appointment or sign up for a workshop.
(back to top)
Does the Workforce Center have computers I can use?
The Workforce Center has two computers available for
student use. You may use them to search online jobs or work on your
resume or cover letter. Printing is also free of charge. You
need a school computer lab account to log on to the computers. Set up
a free computer lab account in Rooms 317, 511 or 901. Just bring in
your class printout and ask the lab tech. You will receive access to
the computers on campus as well as an email address.
(back to top)
How do I get a MonsterTRAK password?
We will give you a password to register when you first
come in to the Workforce Center. If you do not register with
MonsterTRAK within 14 days, the number will expire. Please come back
in to our office to obtain a new registration password.
(back to top)
I don't have an email address, can I still use
MonsterTRAK?
MonsterTRAK requires that you have a valid email
address in order to register. There are several ways you can obtain an
email address. One way is by setting up a free computer lab account in
Rooms 317, 511 or 901. Just bring in your class printout and ask the
lab tech. You will receive access to the computers on campus as well
as an email address.
You can also check out free email services such as
Hotmail or
Yahoo!.
When setting up an email address consider whether or not you will be using
this email address in your job search. Create a professional, not cute
and personal address. You don't want to apply for that perfect job as
funkylover86@domain.com!
(back to top)
I don't have a school ID, can I still register with the Workforce Center?
You can still register by using your admissions and
records printout that states that all fees have been paid and lists the
courses you are enrolled in for the semester. The same printout can
also be used to obtain an ID card. To learn more about ID card
production hours click
here.

Do you issue work permits for minors?
We do not. If you are a high school bridge
student, you can obtain a work permit from your high school. If you
are a high school graduate or have earned a certificate of proficiency, but
are under the age of 18 you are NOT required to obtain a work permit
(Educational Code, Section 49101).
49101. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any
minor
who has been graduated from a high school maintaining a four-year
course above the eighth grade of elementary schools, or who has had
an equal amount of education in a private school or by private
tuition, or who has been awarded a certificate of proficiency
pursuant to Section 48412 of the Education Code
