Applying for Temporary Employment

There are two options for individuals interested in temporary employment opportunities at Cornell:


1. Visit one of our temporary career sections:

  • Temporary Staff-positions in administrative support, office management, customer service, finance, information technology, and facilities and/or

  • Temporary General Service-positions in food service, grounds, custodial and maintenance

Apply for a specific temporary employment opportunity that is currently posted or, apply to one of our general postings. The general postings allow our recruiters across campus to collect applications for individuals who have expressed an interest in various types of temporary opportunities. When a department has a temporary need, recruiters will have the ability to search for candidates to fill those roles.

Please Note: By applying for one of the general opportunities you are not applying for a specific temporary position, you are becoming part of a pool of applicants interested in temporary opportunities. As a result, any direct follow-up will depend upon the specific temporary needs of the hiring unit. If in looking at other temporary positions that are posted you see specific roles that you are interested in, we recommend that you apply directly for those positions as well.
