If hired, you will be required to personally present your employment eligibility documentation before we can allow you to work. The most common documents we see are a driver's license and a social security card (you will need both) or a U.S. passport. You can also check with any dining location to see a complete list of acceptable documents and remember that only original documents can be accepted, no photo or faxed copies please. Cornell Catering separately hires student staff for their events, from formal banquets for thousands to elegant weddings for hundreds or dinners for a few.
