All Universities have a careers office, which regularly posts employment vacancies. The local industry and employers generally recruit students for part-time work from here. In addition to this the careers office will also prepare students with resume writing skills and give them an update on the opportunities and where to find them. Other options of finding jobs are thru local community news papers and networking. Students will have to meet people, go and personally drop resumes at various spots which can include local service stations, fast food joints, restaurants and other business establishments.
Good communication and English speaking skills, willingness to learn and hard-work are the key to get the desired job .
Finding a job you’re interested can take months and you may need to apply for several positions before you get hired.
