Saint Joseph's Telefund: Join Our Team

So you want to join the most Hawk-spirited, dynamic and best paid group on campus? Well, read on...

As a Saint Joseph's Fund Associate, you will reach out to alumni, parents, and friends of the University via our automated, web-based database and dialing systems. You will speak with alums about events here on campus, update their information, and also ask that they make a gift to the Saint Joseph's Fund. You may also occasionally be asked to help with processing pledge confirmations and reminders.

Our major focus is alumni giving.  You want your Saint Joe's degree to help you get a job, right?  Well, SJU's ranking in US News and World Report is impacted by alumni participation in annual giving. Many large foundations and corporations also give large amounts of money to universities with high alumni participation rates. It's not how much someone gives; it's whether they give or not. 

Typical gifts are around $100.  You'll get $10, $25, $500, even $1,000, depending on the person's giving history and other factors.

As a Saint Joseph's Fund Associate, you will not only gain valuable resume-boosting experience, you'll also benefit from our generous bonus structure and nightly incentives. No doubt about it, this is the best paying job on campus!  Last year, Associates averaged more than $8.50 per hour.  Pay is a combination of hourly base and bonuses reflecting how you've performed with a given group you are calling on a given shift. We'll look at how many credit cards you've secured, how many people you've contacted, and more.

We also have a management team, made up of undergrad students who have excelled as Associates. Our tradition of promotion from within means that if you work hard you may find yourself in a management role before you graduate.

This is indeed a fun job - but an EXTREMELY important one – one of the most important jobs a student can have on campus.  We're serious about hiring smart, self-motivated, energetic and engaging Hawks who are ready to make a special mark on their university.
