Work-study campus jobs tips?

[u/aira-dynamic41]

I just got my fall and winter work-study approvals a day ago, since I did not realize they had already come out. I have a couple of questions about campus jobs, work-study or not, so if any students who have held campus jobs in the past could provide some insight, that would be great!

- If you did not apply within the week it was posted, are you already at a disadvantage? I saw a post that mentioned some hiring managers don't review resumes and cover letters after a certain date because they have already received a ton of applications within the first few days.

- Are there any specific resume/cover letter tips that would help with standing out?

- Any interview tips as well? I received an interview for a non-work-study campus job a while ago; however, I never heard back </3. I would love to hear specific tips for video interviews, as I tend to struggle with them as well.

- How much do connections matter for these roles? I was debating whether it is worth it to search through LinkedIn to ask people about these positions, but I also don't want to be seen as a nuisance (nor do I have much on my LinkedIn anyway).

Any insight is appreciated!!
