Top Job Seeking Tips for Students

The type of job you look for whilst maintaining the life of a student will vary according to your age and circumstances.

The following will provide you with some useful tips to get you started with your search for a job, whether you are still at school or an undergraduate at university.

If you are at university…

Study probably takes up a lot of your time so look for a job that won’t interfere with your studies.

Ideal work would be a regular weekend or evening job, and often the most appealing jobs to undergraduates are bar work, waiting or pot washing in a restaurant or casual shop work.

The emphasis here is on the word regular. Do you really want a job where you have no idea from one week to the next when you are expected to work? Squeezing a job in might be too ambitious when your lectures and tutorials are likely to be at different times each day.

If you are at school or college …

Study is likely to be at a regular time each day, so perhaps you could fit a late afternoon job in before dinnertime. A paper round or providing a dog walking service is a good example.

For those who prefer to do something a bit later in the evening, babysitting is a popular job opportunity. You may have family or friends who would value your help with this, plus they may know you well enough to recommend you to others.

Start that search

Don’t just do one of these; do all of them to heighten your chances!

• Check school/university and shop noticeboards for part-time and casual jobs. They may even give you ideas for jobs you could post yourself

• Ask the managers of shops, pubs and restaurants if they require any part-time workers

• Look on local job websites and local newspapers for jobs in your area and community

• Post your interest on social media and share it with friends and acquaintances

To help you with your search

• Do your search just before busy holiday periods such as Christmas or the summer holidays when demand for student workers is high

• Scrub up on interview techniques and communications skills because you may be asked in for an informal chat

• Be presentable when meeting employers to give them and their customers a good impression

• Accept help from family and friends. They will be able to keep a look out for you and recommend your services to others.

Conclusion

If you are keen enough, stick to these tips and do more of the same.

Consider the time and the commitment you have to offer.

Don’t set your aims too high since you don’t want the job to affect your studies.

Fitting a job around your student life is your goal here, not the other way around!
