Woo!
It’s time to get excited for I have wrote another blog…
As
ever I like to have a useful message in my blogs (rather than me just
rambling), in this one it’s student employment. Employment while studying is extremely
important, or at least I think so. It has several benefits, no only does it
earn you money it also stops you spending money as well (as you spend your time
working). You also get to meet new people, get new opportunities and have a
laugh.
There
are numerous benefits to working while studying, there are also many more for
working within the university/Student’s Union. For example as I work for the
university, I get access to new and exciting opportunities. I did a First Aid certificate
last year and got paid too! I also do work for my Student’s Union which is
good, even better as I get 20% discount on food in the SU and free entry into
our night club. Honestly I love life every time I use my staff discount to get
food at the SU.
Working
while at University also sets you up for later life, in the sense it allows you
to gain skills, make contacts and learn things that will make you more
employable.
Not
to harbour on about the University of Greenwich , but they are
really good for that. We have a whole department dedicated to student
employment, not only finding them work but helping them prepare for work in
terms of practising interviews and checking your CV etc.
So
my word of advice is that when you are looking at Universities, look at what
else they can offer you in terms of employment in the future and while
studying, not just the UCAS points and where the uni is ranked.
Hope
that’s helpful!
P.S.:
Eric update. He got himself into a bit of bother the other day. Sadly his lady
plant friend broke Eric’s poor little avocado stone heart. To help Eric through
this difficult time we have swapped his water drip for a vodka equivalent. We hope he makes a full recovery soon.
