Best ways to get Teaching and Research Assistantships 

Cheers!

TA openings will be available for both semesters. RAships depend on when there are openings available. But yes even Spring students can get RAships.

No we can also work at McD, Walmart and College canteens etc.,

In most cases, it's all after you get there.

You can of course. But as I mentioned, your performance in the course is super important so they won't make any decisions right away.

Legend!

For most universities, it won't make a difference in round-based applications. If there is a difference, they will specify in the round information.

Concretely, it's hard to predict. Future employers do often speak to previous employers to learn about the employee. But even if that doesn't happen, that kind of proclivity doesn't bode well for your friend haha.

Not exactly, there will be a time when they open applications for assistantships.

Yes, RAships can be attained after the first semester. And yes, they will have an internal portal where you apply.

Thanks!!

Definitely.

TAships are common across the board. RAships might be possible in an MBA program, but only if you're into business research I suppose.

Yes. You just need to find universities that accept 3-year degrees.
