subject: Work For Students: A Summary Of Common Recommendations [print this page] Before applying for a job, students might consider looking for various ratings on the internet that will point to the best job positions available. The variation between the best jobs proposed for students can be significant, where each author considers his/her own criteria of best jobs, based on personal experience. In that regard, it can be stated that there are no ultimate guides that will offer the best position available, as such lists are highly subjective and individual. Nevertheless, there are common elements in those lists, which this article will attempt to briefly summarize.
Food-Service Related Jobs
Such jobs include a variety of positions, which include, but not limited to, working in university cafeterias, fast food chains, restaurants, etc. All of those and other related positions have common characteristics, the most important of which is the flexibility in schedule. Most of the employers in such positions hire students, and thus, they try to accommodate their schedule in favor of a lower pay. At the same time students can count on tips as a compensation for the lower salary.
IT Related Jobs
IT related jobs can be applied by students who have a certain level of knowledge and expertise in IT related field. The nature of the tasks does not imply that the student should be studying in an IT-related major, rather than having higher than average skills. Such positions might include working in service centers, usually available on campus and various IT support jobs. If a student is studying for a degree in a related field, the experience gained in such jobs might be beneficial in future employments and careers.
Other positions are less frequent to occur, including librarian assistants, lab assistants, and tutoring. The frequency of such positions might be explained by the requirement of high academic levels by students.
