Romanov Stole My Pension Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'm moving back to Glasgow in a couple of weeks for uni, and this year i'm really going to need a job to keep my finances in order. At the moment I'm working at Tesco so i reckon i'll end up applying for another one in Glasgow but just thought i'd see if the jambos out there had any other ideas. Tesco would be the easiest job for me to get since i've worked there for ages in Edinburgh and the pay is half decent. Bar work in a nightclub would be less pay but it would mean i'm always guaranteed to be able to make the Hearts games. What do you other students work as?

cosanostra Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Call centre. Loads of cool people about the same age. Hunner's of burds (met my burd working there). Warm and dry with little or no stress. Damn good money for such an easy job. Overtime during summer. Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Bar work/nightclub work would guarentee you made Hearts games! Plus the hours are awful (in nightclubs) you end up getting home at 5-6 in the morning (having only been paid until 3) and missing your early lectures! Stick at Tescos if you can get shifts that fit around your lectures etc. Even an extra 100quid a week will be of great benifit to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I heard Tesco pay pretty well and give free shares n' stuff. Cheap food and booze also. I'd stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi_1983 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Would also advise against nightclub work! Knew a few folk at uni who did it, and they were wroking till 6 a.m. and ended up dropping out within a year as they never made it to any lectures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigaro Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I heard Tesco pay pretty well and give free shares n' stuff. Cheap food and booze also. I'd stay there. They do. Depending on amount of time spent with them. I have around ?2000 in shares I think. Buy them every month too. Tescos benefites are decent after the first year, as thats when everything kicks in. Stick there if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy Bakircioglu Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 On the subject of jobs, does anyone have any off-hand work for the next three weeks in Edinburgh? I'm basically willing to do anything available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Waitering is good as a student. Convenient hours and tips. That's certaily true. Knew a burd who worked in TGI Fridays who used to make ?100 a day in tips alone. Not bad work if you can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Boy Named Crow Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 When I was at uni I did a range of jobs, call centres, bar work etc. The best by far though was when I did the evening shift for an insurance company. We were basically just doing office admin stuff like data input, but the money was great and you only worked six till nine. Over the summer I got to do as many hours as I liked (day or evening) to cover holidays and the like. Unfortunately for you, I noticed last time I was up in Glasgow that their office has been knocked down, but there must be loads of jobs like that.

If anyone has any ideas I would be obliged.( And lets keep it sensible and clean please) If she is going into first year and living in halls, she should apply for work on campus in the union perhaps, as the town is a bus trip there and back.

Paws (FTH) Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 That's certaily true. Knew a burd who worked in TGI Fridays who used to make ?100 a day in tips alone. Not bad work if you can handle it. Not bad, but I knew a burd (medical student) who used to work in the Fantasy Palace. She could make about ?600 for 3 nights work (+ tips) on rugby weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I work a flexible office job with not-to-be-sniffed at pay for a temp agency, Pertemps. I believe you can get similar through Office Angels etc. As long as I do more than my absolute minimum hours a week and give them a rough idea of when I'll be in they let me just get on with it.
