I work for the students union and they advertise every summer for students to start working that year. It's awesome and very flexible so you can reduce your hours if you have exams and stuff Deffo something to consider but it is very competitive! I also flyer for a club during summer, which was the most infomal job I've ever applied for haha, was literally "message me on facebook, we can set you up an interview" lol! It's pretty easy and good money (ad again, flexible!) so stuff like that is good to consider too I think it is just a case of trying until you find something really.
I will also be doing a Masters in Sept, but have been here for the past 3 years!
I've been accepted for a masters in Sussex and I'm wondering about working and stuff, are jobs easy to come across there?
I know you shouldn't work during a masters and all that but I'll have to, not enough money otherwise.
Lots of students work during their masters so I wouldn't worry. The University's Careers & Employability Centre advertise part-time jobs - www.sussex.ac.uk/careers/jobs - and as Nadiah says, here in the Students' Union we employ lots of students - www.sussexstudent.com/jobs
Left my job at a local supermarket to get something more flexible and within two weeks I had two part time jobs so compared to other places there are loads of jobs available if you look in the right places.
I've worked in Brighton for six years and I think there's a fair bit of work around.
If you're just looking for a few part time hours then the main areas are either bar work (apparently there are more pubs in Brighton than days in the year so you're bound to find somewhere that could offer you some shifts!) or the call centres. There are so many call centres... Pretty much everyone I know here has worked in one of them at one point! I personally wouldn't like working in one, but there are a lot of opportunities.
