Re: Finding a job in AberdeenAs EqanHarvey said Aberdeen has a pretty good economy due to North Sea Oil so jobs are fairly, or at least relatively, abundant. failing that the Uni usually offers jobs to students such as working in uni bars etc

there is quite a buoyant local economy in Aberdeen due to the oil. When I was up visiting last weekend the local paper had 20 pages of jobs. I'm sure you'll find something

Re: Finding a job in Aberdeeni guess it depends when you move there... students back for summer that are originally from aberdeen may take up a lot of jobs (transfers, guaranteed summer work etc), but when they leave they advertise for them again, and if you get in there before other students move up or go back up for uni then it shouldnt be a problem. Plus the uni have loads of resources to help

Re: Finding a job in AberdeenGumtree is really good - search under part time / weekend jobs - there are always loads of good earners in there for students.
I've also used www.studentbeans.com and http://www.ausa.org.uk/joblink
Hope that helps

Re: Finding a job in AberdeenAre there other jobs that the university offers besides working in a bar? Like, at the library or something to that effect?(Original post by cl_steele)

Re: Finding a job in AberdeenNot so much any more since the new library was opened. Although there are other areas that they advertise for but from my experience its not often that they are student friendly hours.(Original post by makethespkrzbleed)

Re: Finding a job in Aberdeenhi there,
i used to live in Aberdeen for more than 1 year. That's true that the economy there is robust, that's why to find a part-time job there is not a big deal at all. I used to work for Manpower as bar staff, it was good experience and - what matters more when you are a student- they gave me flexible working hours. Some of my friends worked as shop-assistants or as waiters at the italian restaurants. Good luck! -
