In the UK, many international students will do some part-time work in their spare time to supplement their living expenses, so there are a few points that everyone must pay attention to, violators will be warned at the least, and repatriated at the worst.
1.Time is limited, jobs are limited.
Officially, with a student visa of more than six months, you can work for a maximum of a dozen workable hours per week for the preparatory department, and a maximum of workable hours per week for a bachelor's degree or above, and there is no limit on holidays. At the same time, they are not allowed to work as freelancers, such as food delivery workers, ride-hailing drivers, etc. You can work in a beauty salon, but you can't do beauty services in the dormitory by yourself, and once you are reported, you will be warned or repatriated.
2.Apply for a work certificate in advance.
Students who want to work part-time must apply for NI Number (National Insurance Number) as soon as possible, which is equivalent to a legal work certificate in the UK, and the application cycle is generally about one month. Part-time jobs in the UK are available from December, April, June to September. If you are planning to start at these times, please start the search 2 months in advance, and prepare the job certificate even earlier.
3.How to find a part-time job.
Vacancies can be searched on school-related**, reliable and not low-paying. If you want to go to a restaurant, bubble tea shop, etc., you can go directly to the store and ask, this type of requirement is very good English. However, Mr. Rick's part-time direction must be related to the direction of future job search, even if the salary is lower. You can find it in the major job search **handshake, ldealist, glassdoor, reeds, and of course, you can also find Mr. Rick to recommend.
Finally, Mr. Rick emphasized that part-time jobs are only temporary, and the part-time experience that starts with the end in mind will help him the most. Job search for international students
