getting a job at uni
Since first year (am now 3rd) I have struggled to get a single job whilst studying (as well as over summer) and it's super frustrating.
I am 20 and have never had a job but it's not like i'm not trying, yet i feel pathetic and stupid and that i am behind in life.
In high school, quite a few people had jobs, so i feel ashamed that even now i have been very unlucky. I try applying for jobs offered by my Uni to no avail- and it's annoying cause the uni acts like student employment is so easy but it's clearly not lol.
The thing that is bugging me is that whenever i think about or hear other friends/acquaintances say they have a job, instead of feeling happy, I am super envious and jealous and it makes me feel like such a cow to say the least XI
Majority of people that have employment though are just lucky they have networks and family connections, and i find this so unfair.
What advice could you give me? FYI i have started my own tutoring so am currently self-employed, however i really want a real job, as in be employed by someone else

Have you looked on websites such as indeed?
Try places like mcdonalds (and other fast food places) as they take on quite a few students.
This wont apply until next xmas, but xmas temp jobs are worth a try as well.

Try leisure centres I started when I was 16 and you don’t need experience to be a swim teacher or lifeguard you just need to know how to swim The pay is like £13.71 an hour and it can go up
