I need a job. How do I get one? If the student is an international PathwayConnect student with a 50% Heber J. Grant Scholarship, see the Tier 1 Jobs section. If the student is an international Online Degree student, see the Crescendo section.
What are the tiers with jobs? The work of placing students into jobs at BYU-Pathway is grouped into three tiers:
I applied for a job with [insert company] and they rejected me. Why? All hiring decisions made by companies are made independently of BYU-Pathway Worldwide and BYU-Pathway Worldwide plays no role in their hiring decisions.
My friend has a job with BYU-Pathway as a [insert position] and I want one too. How can I get one? Most positions for international students that service BYU-Pathway are hired through a separate company called Bloom. BYU-Pathway plays no role in Bloom’s hiring decisions. You can apply for a job on their website, https://hirebloom.com.
I was rejected for a job and told I don’t speak English well, but English is my native language. What advice would you give me? I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It must be frustrating to face a rejection based on language proficiency when English is your native language. It's possible that the employer may have had difficulty understanding your accent. To address this, you might consider working on clear and concise communication. Practice speaking slowly, enunciating your words, and seek feedback from friends or mentors. Remember, it's not a reflection of your abilities, but rather an opportunity for growth and refinement. BYU-Pathway is also in the process of building tools to help students achieve a global English accent.
I have no work experience but I want a job. How can I get an employer to consider me? BYU-Pathway is working to build relationships with employers who are looking to hire entry-level BYU-Pathway students. These jobs will first go to the students in the most financial need.
How can I better prepare to be ready for a job? BYU-Pathway students can access the Professional Skills section of the BYU-Pathway Resource Center for tools and guides on how to prepare for jobs and hiring processes.
When going to employers, they ask for proof of enrollment in BYU-Pathway to consider me. How can I show them I am enrolled as a BYU-Pathway student? PathwayConnect Students: Sign into your student portal, click your name in the top right-hand corner, and click on “Enrollment Verification.” BYU-Idaho Online Degree Students: To obtain proof of Enrollment, please go into their Student Portal, click on Resources, and Enrollment Verification. Ensign College: If the student needs a document verifying enrollment at Ensign College or has questions, they should send a request to regstaff@ensign.edu. The email should include their name, student ID number, and where the enrollment verification needs to be sent. See PC – Enrollment Verification and OD – Enrollment Statuses & Subprograms for additional information.
Avoiding Scams- I received a message from an employer, how do I know if I can trust it? BYU-Pathway Worldwide is partnering with many companies and staffing agencies to provide job opportunities to students. Approved job opportunities will always come through official BYU-Pathway Worldwide channels, which include email and Job Alert WhatsApp groups and you can fully trust these are legitimate job opportunities. Employers utilizing the Crescendo hiring platform are also approved. If you receive something from a specific person or company not mentioned above, it may not be legitimate and could present a risk to respond.
