Student employment

It can be difficult to afford everything you need and want at university so many students get a job during their time at university.

Most students work part-time and do a few hours a week in order to be able to boost their income.

Most students get jobs in cafes, bars, clubs and shops and many do temporary work in offices. Many students also get jobs over the Christmas and summer holidays.

The competition for student jobs is often high so be sure to sell yourself and make yourself stand out.

Try to get as much work experience as possible as the competition for graduate jobs is even more intense.
