Summer Jobs – How and Where Do I Get One?

For students, lack of funds can all too often be an issue. Student loans do not stretch far, and your debt can build up but do not worry as Sheffield offers many summer jobs that can keep your bank balance smiling. These summer jobs could also turn into permanent employment to help you through your years at university.

Job sites such as Indeed advertise many summer jobs for various companies and with Meadowhall just a bus or tram ride away from your student accommodation there will always be shops and restaurants looking for new staff members.

On Indeed you can upload a copy of your CV and they will send you jobs that fit your experience. You can also sign-up to receive job vacancies in your area, so you can find one that will be close to your student accommodation and the university you are attending.

If a summer job is not for you, a summer internship could be. On Indeed they are offering some that allow you to work from home so you will not have to worry about transport and spending extra money on travel.

Your internship could go with your university course as they have many speciality subjects such as finance, marketing/PR, and business development. These internships will give you experience working with established companies whilst also receiving a wage that will help with your general living and social costs.

If you are just looking for extra money, summer jobs that offer a temporary contract could be perfect as they only want you to work until your contract expires meaning when university starts again you can concentrate on your work but will have made extra money throughout the summer. They also give you a chance to gain experience which can be added to your CV for when you want to look for a full-time job or another temporary job next summer.
