Jobshops and job opps

Clearly not every job is suitable for students. After all, most involve going to work during the day.

There are some obvious work opps however: casual work in bars, restaurants and hotels (and catering in general), shops and supermarkets. Others that get a look in include childminding and care work, cleaning, warehouse jobs, call centres, market research and temporary office work.

But depending on what you’re willing and able to do, there’s really no such thing as a typical job.

If you fancy something a bit more unusual, how about life modelling for artists, being a teaching assistant, a psychologist’s guinea pig, DJing, driving the students union nightbus, nightclub bouncing or exotic dancing (best to keep quiet about that in front of dad though).

It’s worth considering jobs that don’t require you to do much more than sit there, occasionally move about a bit and then sit there again night security, for instance, or baby-sitting (once the kid’s in bed). You can use the time for study or at least reading and, bonus, you get paid for it.

The student work site E4S allows users to search for part-time and holiday work (as well as gap year and graduate jobs) by area.
