During term time you know that extra cash can come in useful, be it for a night out, to pay for your work to be printed or to cover that water that's just landed on the doormat. Why not consider a part time job? You could work evenings or weekends, providing of course that you allow yourself time to meet your responsibilities at University and allow you to get plenty of rest. Please find herein a list of the most popular part time jobs including links as to where you can find out more.

•  Bar, restaurant or café work: Most people at one time or another will work in a bar or waiting tables. You will likely work in the evenings and weekends so this may not suit everyone's lifestyle - but you may be able to work just a couple of evenings a week. Approach other workers in the restaurant/ bar of your choice and ask about part time work. They will point you in the right direction. Can be long hours and late nights, but with benefits of free food and tips you can see why this is a popular job.

•  Agency work: Working for a agency can provide you with a wide range of work depending on your skills, and the wages can be very good. Simply print off your CV and approach an agency (many are located on the highstreet including Kelly), where they will ask you what sort of work you are looking for and then ask you to complete a short data entry and call centre test. Agency work is frequently temporary and ranges from administration to manual labour.

•  Medical trials: despite the media bashing that the medical trials industry got in 2005 numbers of volunteers to the trials have risen, partly due to the inadvertent promotion via the nationwide news as well as the fruitful rewards of such trails. Why not visit trials4us for more info.

•  Student Job Shop: Many universities have a Student Job Shop on campus offering a wide range of part time employment ranging from hospitality to administration. Its always worth checking it out.

•  Companies relevant to your degree: Why not try to get into a company that is relevant to your degree, for example work within a travel agents over the weekend if you are studying tourism or perhaps an Art gallery if you are studying fine art.

•  Sell on Ebay: not a crazy idea, but you can sell your and your friends unwanted items on ebay for them. Or why not visit the charity jobs and buy and sell books, clothes or cd's?. Simply set up an account, list the items and wait for the bids! You can take a cut of the profit as well. A great job for those that don't do jobs.

•  Retail work: How about working in one of the high street shops? Part time jobs are usually aimed at students so you'll be working Saturdays and Sunday and aside from the wages you might also get staff discount – bonus!.

•  University Library: Many of the university libraries need help in term time and in the holidays to stack shelves or chase over due books. Wages vary, but at least the job is local.

With a part time job you will get the chance to meet new people, earn some money (as opposed to simply spending the banks money) and it might take your mind off the stresses of your workload. But, remember you are at Uni to get a degree, so don't take on too much paid work.
