Let’s face it, life is pretty tough on students and graduates but the old adage is true – if you work hard then you can play hard. Working hard at university in all areas certainly pays dividends when you leave.
The thing that really gets graduate employers to stand up and take notice is some decent work experience. It shows to that employer that you have incredible time management skills, not to mention the types of skills you learn in a part-time job.
You’ll pick up things like customer service skills, sales skills, communication skills and team management skills. All these are oh so valuable when you finish up your degree.
The trouble with many students is that they don’t know how to source this job at university. A well paid job seems elusive to many but it really needn’t be that way.
It all starts with a well thought out CV. You need to take your CV and covering letter and start approaching businesses you’d like to work for. Why not try our guide to finding a part time job? Explain in your letter that you are a student in the local area and you can work 15 hours a week and full time over summer and you want to show off your skills and help improve the companies bottom line.
If you can show how enthusiastic and passionate you are then you are half way to getting the job. Keep focused on small goals and good luck to you.
