1. Buy the local newspaper.
This is important!
When you meet the right one, call right away to express your interest and ask for an interview!
2. Wander the streets looking for service-related jobs, such as coffee shops and restaurants.
If a restaurant needs a job, most restaurants post a “Help wanted” notice on the door, so it’s important to bring your CV with you if you want to find a job, and you can go to the store immediately.
3. Look at Trademe. There may not be many jobs, but there are.
However, in the network to find a job, it is easy to ignore the sea, if not the response, see a phone number, dial it directly!
4. Make friends!
Expand your network!
Tell your friends that you are looking for a job and ask them to introduce you. Keep an eye out for job postings.
5, through the manpower intermediary company!
Like a very famous intermediary: Select, Westaff and so on, do not charge any fees, but when you have a job, your salary will have a small part to the manpower agency company (about 1 to 2 pieces of hourly wage will enter the manpower agency company’s pocket), but pay attention to, find a legitimate manpower agency company will not suffer!
Although working in New Zealand has many advantages, as an international student, you should remember your original intention of coming to New Zealand. You should never delay your study because of part-time work.
So how to balance study and work?
The following small series for you to introduce a few methods.
1, Choose a convenient place to live a long commute will inevitably make people feel tired.
Considering that it takes more than an hour just to get to my part-time job, and then I have a heavy class load, it’s just too much to juggle.
So at this time it is best to choose a closer job.
Of course, there are many ways to live in New Zealand. You can choose from homestay families, school dormitories, or live in a shared apartment.
When looking for a part-time job, do not blindly pursue high salary. Finding a part-time job related to your major will be more meaningful in the long run.
A part-time job that matches your major will allow you to apply the theoretical knowledge you’ve learned in the classroom, so you can gain work experience earlier than your peers, which will help you in the future job market.
Therefore, for the matter of finding a part-time job, we should jump out of the perspective that its significance is not only to earn some living expenses, but also to influence and help your study abroad from all aspects.
3. Make a reasonable schedule and strictly implement it if you really feel that you can’t control your time, it is suggested that you can make a reasonable schedule after the formal start of work, arrange the work and study time well, and clearly list it.
The more detailed your schedule, the more likely you are to stick to it.
It can help prevent a lot of unexpected situations, like waking up one morning and finding you missed your part-time job or your class.
Procrastination is one of the biggest time killers. If you are a procrastinator, it will definitely be the biggest stumbling block on your way to a part-time job or studying abroad.
Because you may be used to cramming for exams or meeting deadlines, it’s hard to perform at your best when you’re in a hurry.
Learn to break a larger work or study task into smaller pieces and work on them step by step to help you get the job done with quality and quantity.
5. Maintaining Physical and Mental health When you are alone in a foreign country and face the challenges of hard study and work, a strong body is the foundation.
In foreign countries, we should pay attention to maintaining good living habits, pay attention to nutrition, adhere to appropriate exercise, have a comfortable sleep and a positive attitude, which can help you improve the efficiency of work and study, and take both aspects into account.
