January is usually a month where people are finding money tight. Perhaps you went home for Christmas and are now broke because the pound sterling isn’t, erm, doing so well!
The part-time work fair tomorrow may just help! Remember, most non-EU students are allowed to work up to twenty hours per week during term time, and forty in vacation periods. Even if you earned just the minimum wage you could earn over £110 per week! Many employers will pay above the minimum wage.
So what do you need to do?
Come along to the part-time work fair tomorrow from 12pm – 3.00pm in the students’ union. You will find a wide range of local employers including telephone market research, catering and leisure. Remember, be realistic – you are unlikely to find part-time work closely related to your degree but any job should increase your employability for the future! The list of employers attending and their websites is here.
There is a CV session this evening at 5.00pm in HLT2 if you need to prepare one for tomorrow.
If you work you also need to pay tax. Sorry! Click here to view previous blog entries about getting a national insurance number.

RHUL International Student Careers Adviser, Andrew Falconer, was recently interviewed for BBC World Service (China) radio. The programme was featuring the opportunities for Chinese students studying in the UK and the jobs market when they returned home. Andrew spoke about the need for students to address the issue of skills development and to use their time in UK universities to make themselves more employable.
