TODAY: Part-time Work Fair

Every year the careers service organises two part-time work fairs on campus. The Autumn fair takes place today from 12.00pm – 2.30pm in the students union. Local employers are coming onto campus to recruit students for a variety of vacancies in the area. Remember you need to be realistic. Most student jobs are in catering and hospitality or in sales and retail. Campus jobs are advertised by departments on Message of the Day and on notice-boards throughout the college. Other positions can be found at JobOnline. Click here for other part-time work ideas.

Looking for part-time work?

One of the most common questions we get in the careers centre is about finding part-time work. Whilst many student visa’s insist that the student should be able to finance their life and study in the UK, working part-time brings in valuable additional income and develops the skills that employers find so important. During the vacation periods most international students can work full-time if they wish. Part-time work will often not be related to your degree but sometimes you may be able to find a related job that is available locally part-time.

Welcome to all new students!
