Working whilst at Warwick

I believe that part time work is not frowned upon .. right ? And how easy is it getting a job ? I presume many will want to work for extra cash and so find work nearby will be more difficult with Warwick being in a somewhat remote location. Is it worth waiting till starting in October before I start searching for jobs ? Or can I contact the onsite agency Unitemps place by email and start applying for jobs to begin when I arrive ?

What sort of stuff is there to do at the union ? Like work-wise ?
And won't it be hard to get a job there as lots of people living on campus will want to work at the SU ?

There are over 300 students employed by the SU each year for jobs, you can apply during the year by going on http://www.warwicksu.com/jobs/ - you get interviewed, etc so in a sense as long as you apply before the application date, your application will be considered.

You can apply for campus jobs, but it is quite difficult to get one unless you have experience, as so many people apply.
There is also a tesco nearby where you could possibly work or you could get a weekend job in coventry.
