How to apply to a job near uni when I live too far away for interviews
Hi, I am planning on going to university in September and I need a job to afford rent, but I can't do interviews because I live too far away. How do I get a job? I am willing to apply once I move to uni but I imagine that it will be a lot more competitive. If it helps, I am 18 and I am planning on going to University of York. Thanks 🙂
