Part-time jobs

Part-time work is an excellent way to earn money and gain some useful work experience while you study. A part-time job can provide practical experience that will add value to your CV even if it is not related to your degree. Working in a shop, bar, restaurant or office can give you many of the skills that graduate employers are looking for such as decision making, organisational and IT skills, team working, customer service and time management. The University of Manchester recommends that students work for no more than 15 hours per week, or as advised in your programme handbook. This is so that you can achieve the right balance between your studies, other commitments and the need to earn money to support yourself. How can I find a part-time job?
