How to Find a Part Time Job During Uni

One of the great things about Birmingham is that there are lots of job opportunities available for students! This includes jobs on campus, such as being a student ambassador, and jobs in the city, such as working in one of the shops or restaurants at the Bullring.

My top tips for finding a job are:

•

Work out when you are available to work by checking your university timetable to see what days you are free. It is also important that you consider how many hours a week you want to work, making sure to leave yourself enough time for studying and socialising.

•

Create a CV that showcases all of your experience, education and skills! There are lots of templates online that you could use to make this process easier.

•

If you are at BCU then you can sign up to the careers service to get job adverts and support with finding a job. Other good places to look are Indeed and Save the Student.

•

Don't give up! You might not find your ideal job straight away, so it is important that you keep searching and applying for jobs.

One really good job for students is being a student ambassador. The work is flexible as you can sign up to work the shifts that suit you. It can also lead to different opportunities around campus!

Good luck with the part-time job search!
