General ITS Service Desk Hiring for Fall 2026 (Apps close Wed, 8/5!)

22 Upvotes

The ITS Service Desk, also known as ResNet, is hiring for Fall 2026! We will be closing applications for this cycle next week on Wednesday, August 5. Here is the link to our online application: https://resnet.ucsd.edu/jobs

All the details are spelled out on the "Apply Here" page, but here's some info at a glance:

Feel free to reference the page above to learn more about the position, desired qualifications, and more. Here is a snippet of what we look for:

  • $18.75/hour for base ResNet Technicians, with equity raises for each year you work with us. There will also be opportunities to apply to be a student lead after you’ve worked with us for a bit!
  • All UCSD students are welcome (including incoming undergraduate and graduate students).
  • While we look for good critical thinking, problem solving, and basic technical skills, we also look forward to teaching you the rest during your training period!
  • All majors are welcome! You do not need to be a CS or STEM major to apply. Many of our best technicians have been Humanities or Social Sciences majors.
  • You will need English and communication skills, whether this is in-person, over the phone, and via email.
  • Scheduling is flexible. You’re a student first! We plan your schedule around your classes, conflicts, and commitments when given in advance!

So, what do we do at the ITS Service Desk? We help students and staff with a wide range of technology-related issues including email, accounts, Canvas, lab machines, classrooms, Zoom, and wireless internet. If you're interested in a bit of a peak behind the curtain at UCSD IT infrastructure, this role may interest you. This role is primarily customer service.

Is this job right for me? As long as you like helping people, are inquisitive, and are willing to learn, we think you'll find this job quite fulfilling!

How many hours per week? During the academic year, you may work anywhere from 12-20 hours per week!

Is this job in-person? This position is mainly in-person. While are currently located in Muir College at AP&M 1313, we will be moving to 3100 Gilman Drive (Gilman Parking Structure) in September.

Sounds great! When do I start? We're targeting a start date of early September for Fall. We will close the applications when we have filled all our spots or on August 5 (whichever comes first), so the earlier you apply the better!

If you have any questions that aren't answered on the application (hit the "Apply Here" button for more info), please email [helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu](mailto:helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu).

Note that after a period of inactivity on the job application, the SSO login will sign you out, so we suggest typing your responses into a separate document before pasting them into your application!

General to the girl picking scalp and eating hot cheetos during lecture

64 Upvotes

i’m sorry but if you’re digging into your scalp, tapping the flakes onto the fold out desk, and then going back into a bag of hot cheetos and licking your fingers in a packed lecture hall, you don’t get to be offended when people moving seats and tell you you’re wrong. that’s not judgmental culture. that’s consequences. some people seriously need to learn how to be around others.

Someone left their used dining hall bowls by the Gilman Dr & Eucalyptus Ln bus stop. They‘ve been sitting here for days, probably because they are unreasonably far from any dining hall. Take them back to the dining hall, or we will have to fingerprint them, report you to the police, and there‘s a good chance you go to jail for life.

General Saw an athena matcha employee suck on his fingers and go straight back to making drinks 💀

61 Upvotes

I finally tried athena matcha today because the line was only about 10 minutes long for once.
A guy who looked like a manager (def not a student worker) was making the drinks, and I noticed that the cream top was getting all over the cups. They also serve the drinks without lids, which was kinda usual for a matcha drink but I saw multiple customers including myself having to wipe down their cups and the table with napkins before putting the lids on because it was served so messy.
But what really got me was when the guy handed me my drink. He had some cream on his fingers and literally sucked it off RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME 😭
I assumed he would wash his hands afterward, but nope. He immediately turned around and went back to making the next drinks.
I was genuinely shocked because how is that okay when you’re handling people’s drinks???
And for $9, I was expecting the matcha to be amazing, but it was honestly pretty average. The Biscoff matcha was way too sweet for me.
I really don’t get the hype. Definitely not worth going out of your way for, especially after seeing that 💀

3 Upvotes

I've requested dozens of verification documents over the past four years, and this is the first time they've ever canceled all my requests due to a technical error. Seriously, TSS can't even handle the verification documents I need to submit to my employer? Truly impressive. What a school.

Question Chances of Getting In?

2 Upvotes

I'll keep this brief:

I am applying as a transfer student from the University of Pittsburgh, been here 2 semesters, before that I took a couple online classes from SDCCD

3.6 transfer GPA

Navy Veteran

A couple C's on my transcripts

Selected Structural Engineering with specialized interest in Civil Engineering as my first choice major

Should I change my selected major to something else or? There wasn't a General Engineering option, I'm just worried I don't have enough to get in. Anybody else that had an application similar to mind that could share any info?

Thank you all in advance! Sorry if these kinds of posts are annoying on this page.

They are all conspiring against me. Even my closest friends are compromised, and are texting each other on how to cruelly prank me the hardest. I don't want to slip on ice and hit my head on the bathtub that isn't a funny prank. My fluids aren't for free, but sure I guess this a buffet...for schmucks.

Question UCSD Credit Balance

3 Upvotes

I just got my financial aid refund earlier this week, but after checking triton pay again today I noticed I still had a credit balance of -1300. Has this also happened to anyone else? I’m assuming it may just be a glitch or something. I did submit a ticket about this just in case but haven’t heard back yet.

Question Work Study

3 Upvotes

I’m an off campus commuter and I need to make enough money to pay my rent each month, I do have another job, I don’t want to be capped by work study, if that’s even how it works. I already received an offer for an on campus job, so the fact work study “makes it easier to get an on campus job” doesn’t apply to me. I’m just confused on how it works and if it matters whether I accept it. What are the benefits in accepting work study if I’m a commuter, with no dining plan. Is it that I won’t be taxed on my paycheck? Or will that apply even if I don’t accept. If I accept it will I have to pay it back later?
