Taruna: It’s helpful to be proactive and find a flexible job to fit around your university schedule. As long as you manage your time and prioritise, working whilst studying will enhance your employability, widen your networking opportunities, give you the chance to meet new people whilst earning some extra cash.
I have been involved in many part-time or short term roles at Westminster, including becoming a Student Ambassador, Westminster Working Cultures Ambassador, FANS (Friends of Arriving New Students), Student representation (Course Representative, School Representative and Student Panel Advisor) and a student caller, making calls to support a fundraising campaign.
You can study, work, socialise and find time for yourself – all you need to have is a schedule and stick to it. University life is full of opportunities, grab as many as you can. I promise they’re all worth it!
