During the semester I have been actively looking for jobs. I am currently looking for part time roles that will fit around my university schedule. When I have broken up for the summer I will be able to apply for jobs that require me to work longer hours. For the most part I have been using the website Indeed to carry out my jobs searches. This website allows me to search for job roles that are available near me. The website has filters which allow you to specify the role you are looking for, the hours that you require and how many miles you would be willing to travel for the role. Most applications I have filled out have been retail roles because I have lots of experience in this department from working at WHSmith, Heron Foods and Co-op Food. In applications I have detailed that my desired hours to work each week would be 16 hours. I am currently looking for roles that are local to me, however if I am unsuccessful in the next few months I will broaden my search.
In plates 1 and 2 a recent job application I completed can be seen. I applied for a job at One Stop, a convenience store that is local to me. The job advertised offered a 16 hour contract which would suit my current schedule well. I have received a confirmation of my application via email from the company and will now await an email to say whether my application has been successful or not.
