Multiple jobs

You can’t have a work permit before you apply as a job title is needed. If you’ve had a job previously through an agency (e.g. Euflex), it is possible that you still have an existing work permit. This gives you an edge when applying for jobs, as you are available more quickly!

Why get a side job as a student?

Flexibility

Many side jobs offer flexible working hours, making it easy to combine with your studies. Employers understand that your studies are a priority and are often willing to take your schedule into account. This means you still have plenty of time for lectures, project groups and self-study.

Practical work experience

A side job gives you the opportunity to gain practical work experience alongside your studies. This can be invaluable for your future career. Not only can you develop relevant skills and knowledge, but it also gives you the chance to discover what direction you want to take after graduation. Employers value students who have already gained experience in the field during their studies.

Financial independence

One of the main benefits of having a side job as a student is increasing your financial independence. A side job allows you to earn your own money independently to help pay for your college and other expenses. This can make you less dependent on parents or student loans, giving you more freedom to make choices.
