Now that you’ve enjoyed your first
trimester at Deakin (and might be sitting exams now), I hope you’ve all had a blast.
Most of you would have had to purchase textbooks
and new stationary, which would have put a major dent in your budget. Paid for parking
permits, lunches, as well as hanging out with your new mates and spending some
cash. Have some of you come to the sudden realization that you need more cash,
a part time job, and have no idea where to start?
Well aren’t you all so lucky that Deakin
provides a service called Jobshop! The title really speaks for itself. The
staff there makes finding a job much easier, especially if you haven’t had to
look for a job yourself before.
Don’t worry if you are off-campus either as
Jobshop is also available online, just go to http://www.deakin.edu.au/jobshop
and log in with your Deakin username to access all their services.
When I headed off to Uni after High School
I’d never had a job or even attempted writing a resume, and I realized I had no
real savings apart from some money I got for my eighteenth. That’s when I
stumbled across Jobshop.
I went in to visit them one day and they
help me perfect a resume as well as helped me browse for some jobs. I’m so glad
that I did it too, as now I have a part-time and casual job, which just makes
costs for Uni and other essentials so much less stressful.
So if you’re strapped for cash and need a
job head into Jobshop on your campus today, or simply log on online. And best of luck for your exams!
Stay classy,
Tenille
