Student Job Search = Summer Jobs

Student Job Search Business Development Manager, Shalesh Vasan recently wrote, “With a plethora of talented and hardworking tertiary students having finished their studies and rearing to find work, summer is the ideal time for employers to use Student Job Search (SJS) to help fulfil their summer work requirements. Last summer, SJS put students into over 13,000 jobs thus showing that employers were keen to employ students, and students were eager to find holiday jobs, make some extra cash and also gain valuable work experience. Be it retail work or household tasks, Student Job Search lists all jobs for free, interviews applicants over the phone and provides a shortlist of reliable candidates that meet specific criteria, ensuring employers get the best students available – so it’s a win-win situation for everyone.”

The nature of the jobs students are being contracted for has changed, as physical work such as clearing sections and moving furniture is being replaced with office roles, as Kiwi businesses recognise the benefits of hiring New Zealand’s future workforce with the help of Student Job Search. However, students are still a vital source of labour for seasonal hospitality jobs, particularly around Christmas and holiday time. Similarly, the needs of students have changed in the past ten years, in particular with regard to technology that has become the essential hardware of a student’s life which means being a student is not as easy to fund as it used to be, and students now need to chase the higher-paying options.

In the knowledge economy, New Zealand businesses see the benefits of hiring students; they’re smart, they bring technology skills and a willingness to learn. Student jobs are now becoming much more sophisticated and students are currently being placed in contact centre work, data entry roles and even website development. The important thing is that they have an opportunity to gain experience in career-related jobs, develop vital skills and make contact with potential employers.

Intending, current and graduate tertiary students represent New Zealand’s largest pool of emerging domestic talent, and Student Job Search enable employers to find the fresh thinking, talent and energy they need, no matter how big, small, weird or spectacular the Job.
