Finding Part Time Jobs In London - written by Mandy Hartley

Trying to find part time jobs in London could have you feeling a little concerned because it's rife with choices with so many different opportunities, it's worrying to decide where to start the whole process.

I have put this short article together to help you in locating the appropriate part time job in London.

The first thing that we need to do is to make a plan. Get a piece of paper or open your text editor now, and copy and paste the following questions into it and try and answer them:

Approximately how many hours do you want to work ?

What times of day are you happy to work ?
How far away are you happy to travel ?
Is there a specific job you do not want to do ?

Now that you have answered these important criteria you should have a good idea about your hours of work and type of work you can do, now we can proceed with the task of deciding about different types of job to get rewarded for doing in London.

I have a list of a few great part time jobs ideas:

1. Working in a bar serving drinks.
2. Performing general kitchen duties, like washing and cleaning, preparing foods
3. Completing tasks at the front of a restaurant as a waiter or waitress
4. Working in a warehouse packing goods into parcels
5. Completing tasks on a till in a local supermarket
6. Working for a takeaway
7. Handing out fliers for a night club or bar promoter
8. Working duties at a shop, restaurant, private home or office

You can make a choice from the items above, or think about your own discovered jobs and note them down on your notepad.

Now let's go and get you a job. I will now continue with my final nugget of advice on this topic.

The best way of getting a part time job, in my opinion is to spend an entire day travelling around london and personally asking the owner of a business if you can help out with any work. To look clean and fresh on this occassion is a tiny gesture and by far not a waste of your time. A second thing that you should perform is to have a sheet of paper, which contains a professionaly printed Name and Address, and your contact details, You probably don't need a full CV, just a bonus that you leave with a the owner. You may be competing with other guys or girls for this job and to leave this sheet with your telephone information. This will give you an better chance than your competition.

This face to face approach also served me well when I was looking for a part time job in London. I was finally using the same method to work in a student kitchen cooking pizzas part time.

I hope that you achieve this goal of finding a great part time job in london and I wish you the best of luck and good fortune.
