Develop your career skills
Casual or part-time work is a great way to earn some money while studying. It’s also a way to gain work experience that looks great on your CV when you are seeking employment after you graduate. Employers look favourably on students who can demonstrate their time management skills and willingness to work. The supplemental income doesn’t hurt either!

Getting some work experience under your belt can greatly improve your chances of finding employment upon graduation. Equally important, working allows you to build on those soft skills that are critical to every working role – including teamwork, organisation, communication and problem solving.

Before you start, however, it’s important to consider how much time you will be able to commit to work without it interfering with your studies. If you are an international student, you must also adhere to the working hour limits attached to your student visa. This means knowing when your deadlines are and when to cut back on shifts.

Whether you’re a local or international student, make sure you are familiar with the laws outlining what conditions and pay you are entitled to.
