Part time work as a student

Anyone? If I was to apply for a job, when and how would I bring this up? Would I contact them and ask before I applied, or would I raise it when drawing up the contract?

Well it'll be in your CV that your at uni. And if you were to get a job interview you could always mention that you'd be at your hometown store during the holidays but need to transfer to a store in your uni town?

You like wildlife and stuff don't you?

I used to do casual ecological consultancy, which meant a few evenings a week looking for bats, and the odd full day looking for reptiles/surveying vegetation. Its pretty much the perfect student job because it is incredibly flexible and it pretty much shuts down over winter leaving you free to find a seasonal Christmas job at home.

I just don't know when I would bring that up. Contact them before applying? During the interview? When drawing up the contract (assuming I get the job)?

I might go and ask the guy I know who has this arrangement how he got it the next time I run into him.



If I was to go down that route, would I need a license or anything? The examples you mentioned don't, but other things might. Or do you just not do those things that require a license?

That sort of thing would be ideal, but I just don't know how I'd go about getting that sort of job.

I've been thinking of getting a part time job for some extra money, as I'm in my first year of university and am basically just living off my university savings (in no danger of running out anytime soon, but I could still do with the extra money).

There is an issue with holidays though. I'm at university for a few months, and the Christmas and Easter holidays are both about a month each. Summer holidays are longer. I could do with a job, but I'd want to still be able to go home during the holiday periods, which may not be possible if I were to get a job.

Is there any way around this? I know of one person who works at Tesco and he just gets assigned to a different store when he goes home, which would be ideal for me. But I'm not sure how common this arrangement is, and I can't find any information about it.
