    Relevant part-time job
    Some people have told me finding a part-time job in London is really hard..

    I'm looking for a part-time job, a couple of nights a week. I'm a business student and would like it to be somewhat relevant. Not a direct financial position, but something in a firm, could be secretary or assistant.

    Where should I look for this? There are so many webpages which are annoying, where you only submit your CV and not apply for an actual job.

    Have a look in shop windows, the local paper and on websites. You can also try job agencies.

    believe me! its super competitive to find a job in London, even if it's just part-time! ive been looking for a job since february, the closest i came was doing unpaid work as an assistant to a barrister's clerk for a couple of months. and i have a little bit of work experience from law firms and things and i still couldnt find anything! im signed up to about 5 job websites including reed and totaljobs. its definitely much more difficult than i thought and i honestly though i would have been working in a nice office environment by now. i even branched out to retail but still, NOTHING!

    good luck though, i hope you find something
