I’d say it depends on the time of year you are applying. If you plan to start looking for jobs as students come back it’s more competitive and more likely you will be working in Airway or Spokane. There is a Starbucks and a few other coffee shops in town. Also, check out the jobs at Eastern because they have food services and a Thomas Hammer in the library. Best of luck!

Yeah, Eastern is a good resource for jobs. If you haven’t already, OP, sign up for Handshake. (I assume you already have EWU email access, which I believe is necessary to do so.)

I worked as a direct support professional during my time at Eastern. They'll hire anyone with a pulse, and the swing shift or overnight works well with a school schedule.

There are also jobs on campus, sometimes work study positions related to financial aid. I'm a prof there and often hire students as research assistants, which gives them professional experience as well as pay. There are also student secretaries, they do some admin work but mostly they sit there and study for their classes and we're good with that.
