Part-time work & Job search

There are lots of ways to find jobs...​
 

• Use filters on job websites and view only part-time or flexible
   

• Drop a CV into local shops and restaurants - this can show you have initiative and motivation!
   

• Look at your local high street and visit websites for those shops and businesses. Identify their 'jobs' or 'careers' pages, usually there is a link at the bottom of the homepage.
   

• Ask friends and family for tips and contacts

​

• Check out the key links in 'Other resources' below

​

A few important bits to be aware of...

 

• Some adverts are not for legitimate jobs, sometimes this is for agency work that is pretending to be an actual employer and particularly be extra cautious if they ask for a photo or the job sounds too good to be true. Do your research on the company

​

• It is generally not recommended to do more than 12 hours a week paid work during study

​

• You should know your rights, as well as the tax which you may have to pay if you earn over a certain amount and the minimum wage relevant to your age

​

• If you are going to an interview alone then let someone know when and where you are going
