If you are a student and you are taking part-time jobs, the most difficult task would be balancing between study and work. Time management is essential when it comes to different responsibilities, and in this blog post we want to share with you some tips and guidelines on how to better manage your time.
First of all you want to check how much money you really need. Of course you always want to have more, but it’s not a good idea to sacrifice your time and your studies by juggling between two part-time jobs and your university life.
Choose Your Part-time Job Wisely
Make sure your part-time job is relevant to your career path. You don’t want to graduate with three years of experience in retail. That’s not going to help you. Choose something that is related to your career and you enjoy doing it. That way it will not tire you as much and you can fit it into your schedule easier.
Establish Priorities
Making sure some tasks have to be done first is essential. Prioritize on some tasks and make sure you do them first. Don’t procrastinate and get things done on time. This can be obtained through practice and over time. It will create a sense of accomplishment for you when you get things done on time, and will boost your self-esteem.
Cut Yourself Some Slack
Make sure you have some time to relax and socialize with friends. This will give you the energy to work better. Don’t make your life about work, but practice how to get things done on time and enjoy the break, so you can have a breath and get back to work.
Have a Tight Schedule
Schedule your time and make sure you follow closely. Put in enough time for both work and study as well as some time to relax to catch up with friends in your schedule.
Work Goal-oriented
The best investment you can make is in yourself, so try to work with intentions of becoming professional in a field. This will help you to find better opportunities as you work and progress. Try learning new skills that will help you in your job.
Don’t Miss Out On School
Don’t fail your subjects because of work. Prioritize on university. Make sure you take an amount of work that you can handle, and only when you are really comfortable with it try to widen your range. Eventually you are looking at full-time jobs that require university degree, so don’t make your life about part-time jobs, but try to gain as much as you can from it.
Part-time jobs are excellent way of creating a career path for your future. Get on board and start working happy!
Making the right resume that showcases your best is crucial in a job search. A good resume should tell the employers what are your best assets are and what experiences have had.
As a student without any prior full-time job experience the task becomes more difficult. You need to show your abilities as well all the activities you have taken part in to prove that you are right for the job done.
Here are five tips on how to make a kick-ass resume for part-time jobs application:
1. Highlight Your Qualifications
Show your abilities and skills on top of the resume. That is the most important thing the employers look into if you do not have any prior work experience. You can write them in point form to make it easier to read. This section will give the employer an idea of your personality and passion in life.
2. Give Education Priority
Often education comes after work experienced and related activities, but if you are seeking part-time jobs make sure they know right away where you study. Make sure to include the name the of the current and previous institute that you have studied at. This will give the employer a better idea of your background.
3. Include Unrelated Jobs
There are tons of work and activities that you take part in during your college that may be completely unrelated to the job that you are trying to apply for. Make sure you put everything in. They might not be related, but they will show the employer that you are active and know how to get things done. Include your volunteer activities. They are important. Any volunteer work that you have done in the past.
4. Skills
Include a section with all your skills: soft skills, language skills, digital skills and other related skill you can think of. (Except maybe eating a whole pizza on your own!)
5. Contact Details
Last, but not least make sure you put your contact details on the top of the resume which is the most important thing. You need to include your phone number, your address and your email address. At the bottom of the resume you may include some references if you want, but make sure you have informed those people about it and they will respond if contacted.
So you just graduated and now you are looking for a job, but a career doesn’t look too good in your major. Let’s say you took a part-time job or an internship, and you didn’t have the same passion anymore, or the employment opportunities are scarce in your field.
Don’t panic.
Getting a job outside your major is nothing to be scared of. There are those jobs that require their specific degree. If you want to be a nurse or a doctor, you must have a medical degree, but most career fields today are more or less accessible with other degrees.
Your degree will never be irrelevant.
If you are looking for a job, what the employers are looking for is the skills and knowledge that you have gained in the past. They don’t care that much about what degree you hold. As long as you hold a degree and you are fit for the job, they will give you a chance.
What matters the most is YOU. You need to find the right path where you will have room to grow in order to use your potentials to the fullest. The knowledge you learn from you classes and assignments in university does not always determine your career field
Why your major doesn’t matter that much
Taking a job in a different field than your major isn’t a big deal. In fact in the future probably more people will be switching their industry than before. The marketplace is changing all the time and the employers are looking for skills not grades.
Here are some of the things that matter more than what major you have studied:
Experience. Whatever job you get after your degree, employees look for the experience you have learned and the skills you have acquired in whatever undertakings you have had in the past. Skills can be learnt and transformed into new environments. In fact having a different major that the industry may give you the advantage of a fresh new perspective
Skills.
There are a bunch of skills that are necessary for working in any company.
Just to name a few:
Written and oral communication
Research and analysis
Problem-solving abilities
Working in a team
Decision making
Innovation
Emotional intelligence
By working at any company you will learn these skills, so when you are trying for a new job, or a job outside your major, the employer will want to know whether you have these skills. Then you need to be able to learn new skills which brings us to the next point.
Adaptability. If your major is not same as the job you are applying, you need learn how to adapt to new things. Well, even if your major is the same as the job you are applying for, you will need to adapt to things. But if you are applying for a different major, then you need to be more adaptive. Learning new concepts may not be the hardest part. Unlearning what you were taught in your three years of degree will be.
Having the best grades in university will not guarantee you a job once you graduate, but gaining experience through different part-time jobs will.
Every year many students are graduating without having any experience on their resume, and they are struggling to find a suitable job that will kickstart their career. The best way to overcome this is to get part-time jobs while you are studying.
It may sound hard, but with the right time management and some ethics, you will be on your way to impress the employees.
The part-time jobs that you pick don’t even have to be relevant to what you want to do in the future. Some of the most successful people today started out with some pretty odd jobs.
For instance, did you know what was President Obama’s first job?
Scooping ice-cream.
That’s right, the most powerful man on the planet started working at a Baskin Robbins in Honolulu when he was a high school student.
Or Yahoo chairman, Maynard Webb; He started working as a paperboy when he was 12, and he claims that his first job actually taught him some great attitude and lessons about business that helped him build his career.
How will part-time jobs benefit you
Part-time jobs will help you find what you want to do. Simple.
You take up jobs and you learn how to manage your time, but most importantly, you learn more about yourself and what you want to do in life.
They might completely change your perspectives about the industry you have chosen or make you fall in love with it. At the end it all depends on you.
So don’t just look at a part-time job as a side hustle. It’s really more than just the extra income. They help you discover yourself and find the suitable career.
Afterall no matter how high the income, if you can’t sustain your mental health while working , it’s not worth it
A new study in Malaysia shows that 26% of youth want to commit suicide because of their job, and only 8% of them said that they loved their job.
The rate might be shocking, but it shows the reality that many young Malaysians don’t choose their careers wisely.
Here is another piece of advice…
If you do find a new part-time job and you don’t seem to like it, be patient and learn how to cope and learn new skills. It might take time until you fit in, or it might be the worst job ever for you. Either way it will be a good experience for you.
Some tips on how to manage part-time jobs while you study
Now, we know you’ve got a tight schedule. Assignment, studying for exams and keeping up with the Kardashians all at the same time is not easy. (Joking! There are better TV shows to watch!)
So here are some tips on how to make sure you don’t lose out on anything and still manage to get the right job:
Keep a Journal : Write down what you need to get done for the week in your journal, and try to keep up with your goals. It’s okay if you don’t achieve everything, but make sure you don’t miss your deadlines
Find a job that you like: Make sure you are comfortable with the job that you find and you like what you do. This doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be challenging, but it shouldn’t drain all your energy out either
Cut down on ‘lepak’ time: Yes it may suck, but you have to sacrifice on some lepak-ing for a better future. Appreciate your friends and your hangouts, but learn how to manage work and fun.
Bring work to school: Make use of your time at university to get some of your job done. (Bonus: this will make you look cool too.)
Don’t fear burnout, but learn how to curb it: If at the end of the day, you feel too exhausted, while some of your friends are out there partying, don’t worry. You are on the right path. Learn what helps you relax, and put that on your schedule. Whether it’s video-games or keeping up with the Kardashians. (There, I said it again)
If you will actually truly ♥ the job/s you are applying for? or……
Have you ever be afraid of applying the ‘wrong’ job?
These are the few questions people usually ponder on while applying for a job. Is a norm!
So…..Fret Not! 🙂
Here’s a few tips (filtered ones…haha) on how you are able to find out if you actually truly like the job you are applying for!
Side note: Is IMPORTANT to find a career that you LOVE! 🙂
7 Essential points
1. Passion
Do what you are passionate about! If you are passionate about that particular job that you’re applying for, the chances of you liking the job will be much higher. Also, it yields a much higher job satisfaction.
Hence, know what you are passionate about and find a job that matches your interest! 🙂
A true-story from Ren, the co-founder of Burgerlab Malaysia and JOBI…….
Ren: ‘ I love what I am doing now because I believe I’m truly making a difference to the part-timers out there.‘
2. Working Environment
Think about the type of environment you would like to work in- whether is a collaborative or a competitive environment, outdoor or indoor-based job, flexible or desk-bound jobs?
♣ Avoid jobs that will make you bored or miserable! Instead, go for jobs environment where you will more likely to flourish.
3. Job Scope
Be clear of what the job that you are applying for requires you to do. Read the job description in detail. Then, decide on whether do you suit this job, or instead, does the job suit you? 🙂
For instance,
A more introvert person may not be very fond of jobs which involves lots of communication with others. He/she may thus apply for jobs that suit his/her personality,e.g. Programmer which requires dealing more with computers.
4. Test the WATER?
This applies to people who are applying for a permanent job/career. In order to find out if you will really do enjoy the job that you are going to apply for in long-term, start by getting some voluntary work in the sector. Be it an unpaid internship.
♣ This is the best way to learn if the position is the right one for you!
♣ Also, there are extra advantages to it – acquiring new skills, making connections with people in the same sector, and building up your experience for addition into personal resume/CV.
5. Altruism
Ask yourself: Does helping people or making a difference in the society makes me feel happy or satisfied with my job?
At times, finding an ideal job you like is not as easy as it is. However, finding a job that provides you with that sense of purpose can make you happy and enjoy doing it.
♣ When you get yourself engaged in an activity that satisfies you, time passes quickly.
6. Get more insights to the job!
Get yourself up doing some research on the job that you wish to apply for. Google is one of the very resourceful means to go about it. Read some articles online or blogs regarding the jobs or talk to people who have or are currently working in the sector.
♣ Ask them what motivates them to apply for the job? what the job actually revolves around? whether do they like it initially and what happened after engaging in the field for a substantial amount of time?
♣ Get some useful advice on the job! 🙂
♦ ♦ ♦ Just a side note, Money does not make you happy, but it motivates you!
Research have shown that many people spend most of their life working, hence do not waste such precious time of yours! Choose one that you enjoy doing!
All in all, go for a job that you like! Have the courage to apply for it! 🙂
Most of us have had a part-time job at one point or another in our lives, especially as a student. While it’s easy to dismiss those jobs as rather unimportant, part time jobs actually have some benefits.
Extra bling-bling (cash)
Money. The most obvious reason that people go to work. But earning your own spending money during college will definitely be useful. Part time job won’t pay enough to live on once you graduate and enter the real world but that’s okay because for now it can help you pay for books, food, gas and maybe even occasional partying. You can also save up some cash for after college expenses before you get a real full time job.
Improve your time management skills
Classes, studying, and working makes for a busy schedule. Many part time jobs are flexible, especially student jobs. It will take a bit of effort to finish all of your tasks and assignments in between shifts at the fast food restaurant and hanging out with your friends, but doing so will certainly help you improve your time management skills.
See how things run and watch management / Watch how the world ticks
Have you heard of the term monkey see, monkey do? Working somewhere gives you a first-hand look at how things run. You will also be able to observe different managers and their actions, reactions to employees and customers. You may even be able to practice your own leadership skills if you train other employees.
A boost to your resume
Having a job while you are a student will be a boost to your resume even if it’s not in your field of study. Working shows future employers that you’re dedicated and responsible. Students who have part time jobs during college often tend to be more organized compared to those who do not work because they must learn how to manage their time.
Employee benefits
Even if they’re not full health benefits, you may be eligible for perks. For instance, I have a friend who worked at an H&M store. Needless to say she loves her job. Two words – Staff Discounts. How cool is that? Other benefits could include discounted tickets, food, merchandise and more depending on where you part time job is!
Improves grades
Unbelievable? Believe it! When our friends ask how is the assignment progress. We tend to reply..”Still got time, chill la”. When your only commitment is your studies, you may think you have all the time in the world to finish your assignments. This may result in a less effective work ethic. Having a job forces you to manage your time and organize your tasks in a productive and effective manner. The amount of hours a student can handle varies, but for the most part, when employers hire on students they are aware that the priority is education and will work with you to make it a win-win situation.
Opportunities for networking
No, I don’t mean the telecommunications networking which allows computers to exchange data but more like knowing the right people who can be helpful to you in the future and be used as reference. Even if you don’t gain work experience in the career field you plan on entering after graduation, you never know who you might meet. There are opportunities for networking at any company.
A survey conducted by Endsleigh (2012) indicated that nearly two-thirds of students are now working part-time to help fund their studies.Long gone are the days of frivolously spending the extra cash on shopping, drinking and takeaways. As there will be the extra time during college time , students nowadays are more wisely use their time on working different kind of part time to earn money and in the mean while gain precious experiences. Here are some reasons why college is the best time to work part time.
Stable Flow
Students who hold down part-time jobs will have more money than they would have otherwise. As you come into adulthood, earning an income can boost your confidence and allow you to have some fun within the limits of your paychecks. Having a steady income allows you to pay off debts quicker, leaving life with less financial stress after graduation or during school time. Some students need to work through school to afford tuition. Others will set the money aside to pay back student loans. Still, the money will be you to spend as your wish, and you may appreciate it more because you worked for it.
Develop useful
Even though you may not think the skills you’re developing at a part-time job will be useful to your career, they can be! Part-time jobs teach skills every employer is looking for such as commitment, time management, teamwork, leadership, organization, customer service and so on. Larry Bird once said, “A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.” So put yourself out there. Your resume will thank you for it!
Budgeting
There’s no better way to learn how to responsibly handle finances than to do it. You earning your own money get lessons on spending wisely. Part-time jobs are often tough, and hard-earned money can be painful to part with. In fact, you may be less likely to spend the hard-earned money frivolously and learn to delay gratification to pay for necessities, such as text books and rent. At the same time, you can save for non-essential purchases, such as a car. “It isn’t what you earn but how spend it that fixes your class,” said Sinclair Lewis. So this showed that students who worked part time tend to be more wise in budgeting.
Time Management
Students taking on a job on top of their studies will have less free time than non-working students. When you have to measure out your time, you tend to be better planners as you will make sure yourself complete every task expected on deadline. You learn to weight your priorities, sometimes skipping fun activities to finish your responsibilities. Carl Sandburg mentioned before ” Time is the coin of your life. You spend it. Do not allow others to spend it for you.” This prepares you for life after school when excuses and tardy work will be frowned upon.
Experiences
Likewise, even if you isn’t gaining work experience that will benefit your eventual career, you are gaining real-life experience. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “people grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is build”. Working with colleagues, answering to a boss, attending meetings, and meeting deadlines are universal demands that will benefit you no matter what career path you chooses. Including a part-time job on your resume will prove your are well-rounded and has a strong work ethic. Employers look for employees who understand work environment and able to work in a team. Having a part-time job shows that the student is at least somewhat accustomed to the professional world, which will make the transition that much easier.
As conclusion, with a growing number of students moonlighting to support their studies perhaps you can be convinced to tear yourself away from the quill and parchment and get a part-time job. Taking on a part-time job while pursuing a studies is hard work, but the benefits are typically greater than the amount of a paycheck. Students who work during their college careers may have better skills than their counterparts. They must understand responsibility and apply it to their daily lives. They earn money that can be used for fun or for tuition, while gaining experience in the workplace that will be attractive to future employers after graduation.

90’s, often described as squishy strawberries or either the unable-to-handle-stress-generation. I understand I will get a lot of different answers from you readers with ‘Yes!’, ‘Where got?’, ‘Maybe?’ and so on. Majority of the reason? Unprepared. Part-time job is a good way to start your exploration on how real working life will be! You can gain numerous skill sets to brace yourself before entering to your full-time career. Here goes my top seven!
Responsibility. Being responsible, reliable and trustworthy is all part of what graduate recruiters describe as self-management. Good self-management involves being punctual, flexible, getting work done on time, and being willing to improve your own performance. Employers sometimes complain that this is an area where graduates fall down, so if you can use your working experience to show you can be trusted to get the job done, you’ll put yourself in a good position to get hired.
Initiative. What did you do when problems arose? What if goods were damaged before being paid for, or if a customer or colleague was taken ill? Think about how you reacted to the unexpected and what you learned from those experiences. If you made any suggestions about how things could be improved, these will show that you’re a good self-starter. If your ideas were put in place and worked out well, so much the better.
Working under pressure. Did you ever have to stay calm and keep smiling as a big queue built up at your checkout? What steps did you take to try and make sure customers weren’t kept waiting? Try to think of examples of how you coped at particularly busy times and how your attitude and approach made a difference.
Dealing tactfully with customer concerns. Customer complaints and queries can give you useful examples of your problem solving and communication skills, both of which are fixtures on most graduate recruiters’ wishlists. However, communication is such a broad term that employers may want you to define your abilities in this area a little more closely, for example, by referring to persuasion, negotiation or influencing.
Numeracy. Retail workers use numeracy skills in a range of ways, from giving customers the correct change to stock taking. Did you play a part in using information about sales trends and promotions to estimate the stock needed? Then you’ve gained a good example of how you can put your numeracy skills into practice.
Working in a busy team. A supportive team ethos on the shop floor helps to create a good atmosphere for customers. Successful businesses depend on different teams working well together, so think both about your role in your team and how others in different teams depended on your work. Did you take part in team meetings and if so, what did you contribute?
Attitude. The core factor of being successful in everything you do. Working part-time develops your positive attitudes as you need good reputation to obtain your next part-time job. You will find your career path much smoother when you develop good attitudes.
When number of 1-26 is assigned each to alphabet A-Z, the word ATTITUDE sums up to 100, but DETERMINE and HARDWORK only sums up to 93 and 98!

What you’ll do: Likely you’ll be greeting customers, taking orders, sending burgers, pouring wine, and cleaning up. What you’ll unofficially do is stuff yourself with the restaurant’s best offerings.
What you’ll get: Free food! Maybe some tips. Learn the ins-and-outs of managing a restaurant (trust us, there’s a lot to learn). Usually an hourly wage will be paid, probably around RM5-RM10.
What you’ll need: Accountability. Restaurants need you to show up on time on a consistent basis. Professionalism. You’re representing the restaurant by being on the frontline.
Bear in mind this is not an exhaustive list, there are plenty of other part-time jobs available for you to pick up which are equally awesome. Look around if you’d like at our website.
Whatever job you pick, we hope you enjoy yourself and learn from the experience!
Be clear of what the job that you are applying for requires you to do. Read the job description in detail. Then, decide on whether do you suit this job, or instead, does the job suit you? 🙂
Ask yourself: Does helping people or making a difference in the society makes me feel happy or satisfied with my job?
to the job!
