University Careers Service – Most unis have a careers team who offer CV workshops, job boards, and mock interviews. If you haven’t yet, book an appointment and ask them to tailor your CV for local roles.
2.
Explore Student-Friendly Jobs – Look into sectors like retail, hospitality, or university-based jobs (e.g., library assistant, campus ambassador). Companies like Tesco, Boots, and Lidl often hire students part-time.
3.
Temp Work and Beyond – While you’ve already signed up for agencies, check out Reed, Adecco, or Hays for office/admin roles that often lead to longer contracts.
4.
Speculative Applications – Directly contact small businesses in Nottingham (local shops, startups, or offices). Send a tailored email highlighting your skills, availability, and eagerness to learn.
5.
LinkedIn & Networking – Update your LinkedIn profile, connect with alumni or professionals in Nottingham, and let people know you’re looking. Networking often leads to opportunities.
6.
Expand Your Search – Check sites like E4S, StudentJob, or Indeed (with specific filters for ‘permanent part-time’). Facebook groups and Nottingham-specific community boards can also advertise openings.
7.
Skills Boost – If you have spare time, consider short online courses (e.g., Excel, customer service) via platforms like Coursera or LinkedIn Learning. This makes your application stand out.
