Part time jobs for students. Everything you need to know

Finding the right part time job when you are still a student is never an easy task, because you need flexibility, of course, good pay and the opportunity to improve your skills. Scheduling remains an important element that needs to be taken into consideration, because a full-time Monday-through-Friday job is not always an ideal option for a student. The objective is to be able to arrange your working hours for the evenings or the weekends. Another key factor is finding a part time job that you really like and can truly devote your passion and expertise to, so that you can enhance your CV and acquire relevant skills.

If you have a part time job when you are a student, you must remember that it is important to develop one important quality: a sense of responsibility. This quality will allow you to acquire respect and an appropriate level of consideration in all your future professional activities.

Let’s explore now some of the possible part time jobs that could be ideal for students:

• Freelance writer or editor
• Bookkeeper
• Administrative Assistant
• Barman
• Teacher’s Assistant
• Tutor
• Children’s Party Entertainer
• Uber driver
• Sales person
• Translator
• Customer Service Representative
• Baby-sitter

Some of the above jobs are better paid than others, depending on the level of responsibility and experience required. For example, a translator is required to speak, read and write fluently in another language, and the pay is usually quite high, depending on the project. Some of the part time jobs allow you to acquire more hard skills, some enhance your soft ones, and others both. So, you should focus on what are your aspirations, your goals and your passions before applying for a part time job.
