Gain skills and work experience
Every job brings with it the opportunity to add to your repertoire of skills and experience. Retail offers the chance to improve your communication and customer service skills; hospitality teaches you how to stay calm under pressure and manage your time effectively. Even that one-off job you did shows you are employable and have valuable skills, including reliability. All of these qualities and experiences will help you stand out when it comes to applying for graduate roles.
Graduate career opportunities
If you are after a job related to what you are studying SJS also offers a variety of course-related roles. Marketing and accounts assistants, web developers and IT support, and engineering interns are all examples of positions we often have advertised on SJS. These roles are often your foot in the door with a company who may offer you a graduate role once you've finished studying, or at the very least will show you have some experience in the field of your choice - invaluable!
Gain financial freedom
Let's be honest - if you are just relying on your student allowance or loan to get by, it often doesn't get you very far. Whether it's to start paying off your student loan while you're still studying or simply just to have enough money to support your tertiary lifestyle, having a job will help you gain that financial freedom and enjoy your days of study.
Find work that fits around your study
SJS offers a wide range of work options to fit around your study. If you don't have the time for a job, you can opt for one-off or casual options. If you are looking for a longer commitment we also have a variety of fixed term and ongoing positions on offer. Simply read the job descriptions on the website to check out the hours available and how they might fit in with your schedule.
Reduce competition around employment
SJS will only refer a limited amount of people onto each job. We will ask you questions to ascertain your suitability for the job when you apply, and if we think you fit the bill we will give you the employers details. This not only helps the employer by cutting down the recruitment process for them, but also ensures your chances of getting the job are much higher.
