I am, admittedly, slightly envious of my friends who have
landed internships with definite graduate employment chances. However, the job
that currently appeals to me the most is research and, as the subject that I am
most interested in researching is animal behaviour, it should be good to get
some practical experience in this field. This placement does come with a few
problems though, mostly in the form of cost. Flights to and from Belize aren’t
cheap, and neither is a month long unpaid placement, so I will need to set
about getting a term-time job other than writing a blog about trying to get a
job (which ironically should give me lots to write about!).
I’m lucky enough to have jobs that I can return to each
holiday when I come home from uni. I work as bar staff at a local club, and I do
some office work too, but they only account for a few months of the year. My
bar experience should go some way to getting me a part-time job, I hope... I
have a few friends who’ve already worked at pubs around Broomhill and would
recommend me if a vacancy does come up. Also, if this happens, at least I’ll
know for sure if it is a good place to work as a student. Hopefully this will
all come through for me in February when exams are over, but I am already
checking the Careers Service myVacancies email
alert I set up every time it comes into my inbox!
