part time flexible job

[dan no1]

i work part time a catering place that allows me flexible hours, while studying for my degree. i am 20 and have been there since i was 15. my degree is in IT and i need to build my cv to gain necessary experience for when i come to get a job. i have one year left on my degree. i am working full time now during the holidays, but i am getting absolutley sick of it now. can anybody suggest a job, where i could work full time now, then part time with flexible hours in september, with a good pay. thanks in advance!

I would just tell you to stick with the job you have got to give you that extra money, but if you are not happy and need experience then why don't you ask your college tutors for advice an any p/time work that may be available for you to gain experience

What about temping? Aside from the commercial agencies, many local councils have temp registers and their criteria are pretty minimal - as an IT undergraduate you'd be fine. I've worked alonside loads of undergrads from all disciplines and they've been quite capable of the work,

You'd get to do a range of office work across their departments, and with an IT specialism, you could well be placed in a role or department where you could use and develop your skills. You'd be able to change your availability as and when you need to. Not that they'd be able to guarantee either of these, but there's not usually a problem if you can be flexible about where you work. There's also the chance of being able to do a little networking and getting first-hand knowledge of any vacancies that might come up once you've graduated. At the same time, you tend to get stuff like paid holidays, sick leave and entitlement to the local government pension scheme.

I'm an IT graduate myself and I have been temping since the beginning of the year and its great. But I admit, as an IT graduate, breaking into the IT market is hugely competitive as I have been to a handful of interviews. The trick is to never give up :-)
