It often takes a lot of imagination and perseverance to find a good student job to finance your studies and outings. It also often takes a lot of perseverance to find interesting work and avoid a monotonous job. Here are some of the most popular student jobs.
Catering and hospitality: the most sought-after
According to the website Sondages Comparés FR, the hospitality industry remains the most popular and the one that students spontaneously consider when starting their job search. The advantage is that this sector has staffing needs all year round, not just during the holidays.
Most establishments are willing to offer a first chance to staff without experience. This makes it the ideal sector to get your first taste of work while adopting a schedule compatible with your studies. There's always a way to find a job that suits you. You can be a receptionist, a kitchen assistant, or a room attendant.
It's usually enough to be very available and comfortable with the public. You also need to demonstrate endurance, as the days can be physically demanding.
Jobs for night owls
The hotel and restaurant industry is just one sector among others that sometimes offers night jobs. Indeed, in a multitude of fields, night work is necessary and well-paid. There are an estimated four million people in France working night shifts. Students can gain their first work experience there, as no special training is required. However, you must be prepared to work hard.
Party-minded students can enjoy the atmosphere of the nighttime events, even if they have to do the grunt work after the party is over, such as cleaning up and tidying up.
The tourism sector: always pleasant
The tourism sector primarily offers vacation jobs, which is ideal for students who may be asked to do a bit of everything. While it's possible to become a cruise ship host, you can also take advantage of the high demand in theme parks. There's always a need for entertainment for young people and tourists visiting our country. Reception, sales, and maintenance are most often on the agenda. It's also a good opportunity to practice your English.
Holiday clubs also require a diverse and dynamic workforce. Here again, customer service skills are highly valued, as both waiters and entertainers may be required. All you need is a willingness to work throughout the entire holiday period.
Welcome to athletes
If you're an accomplished cyclist and enjoy bike rides, you can put that passion to good use by taking on one of the many delivery jobs available during the holiday season. You could make deliveries by bike or even be a tour guide for other hiking enthusiasts.
