Which kind of Jobs can I get in abroad while studying on student visa?

If you think that you have proper time and permission from your study campus and from related government to do some kind of job, while studying on student visa. So there are a lot of choices depending on your skills and preferences. First think of your skills and what you would enjoy doing.

Your preference should be for a job which is somehow related to what you are studying. That might not always be an easy task, however, try it! Find sources that offer jobs particularly for students. At your university they might have a Job shop or careers advice office in which they might help you. Find out whether you are allowed to work and how many hours a week you can do so in the country you are in. Then don't hesitate to apply for a job and all the best in getting it!!!!!

You can get according to your choice some of the options are:-

Call Center Operator: If you like talking on the phone, have some sales and customer service skills, then you might gain some interesting experience in this sector. There are many companies looking for such kind of people.

Market researcher: If you speak a certain language, are able to handle a phone and a computer, know how to persuade people to answer your questions, have friendly manners and are target-oriented then you would find it easy to work for a market research company. These jobs usually are always of short periods since they are projects which need to be completed within certain timeframes. This job might allow you to earn more if you perform above average.

Proofreader for students' assignments: If you have excellent language skills and are familiar with a certain subject then proofreading could be a flexible option for you. Reading through other students' assignments, term papers, dissertations etc., giving general feedback and making sure there are no spelling and grammar mistakes would be a job you could do in your own time.

Writing articles: If you have excellent language and communication skills and some talent in writing, this could be another option to earn some money. It would allow you to add published articles also on your CV, which might impress your future employer.

Library Assistant : Do you love books? Do you have administrative, organizational and IT skills? Then this job might be worth a try. Furthermore, it might help you to come across some books which might be helpful for your own research when it comes to writing assignments, dissertations etc.

Assistant in your Student Union: You might not have to look far to find a job…. Have you ever considered looking or applying at your university's student union as a retail assistant, pub assistant, etc.? Keep your eyes and ears open, you never know sometimes a good opportunity might come up!

Event Steward: If you would like to work for a short period only, helping out as an event steward could be suitable. If you are a great organizer, you love interacting with other people and have an outgoing personality than I would say Give it a try!

As an alternative if you feel particularly confident and are fearless then you can try to set up your own business For example by offering a cleaning service, car service, web development, PC maintenance service, catering service, home tutoring, painting services, yard maintenance service etc.

Other Kind of Part-Time Jobs

Hotel Porter: This job might be more suitable for male students. If you don't have any problems working in the night, you are a reliable person, and studying Hotel Management then I'm sure that this job would allow you to make some interesting experiences.

Dogwalker: Do you love dogs? Are you maybe missing your own pet from home and you would like to look after another person's dog? Sometimes professionals are very busy, go on holiday and would appreciate it if there would be someone who would look after their dearest friend.

Babysitter: Have you already looked after a child? Or do you love children in general? Or would you like to get a taste as to how it is to look after a baby/child once you are older and a mother yourself? There are many busy parents who would need help for some hours on certain days and they would be glad to find a responsible person who can do the job. If you are experienced I would say it is certainly a plus!

Mystery shopping: I've never done it myself, but apparently it works. Companies pay you in order to test products, eat in restaurants, review movies, etc. Giving sincere feedback on your customer experience is the idea behind it. In the internet there are lots of ads in this regard.

Driver: Are you mobile with a bike, a car or a van? Or do you have a driving license? Then why not try delivering newspapers or distributing telephone books or even delivering pizzas to households and companies? If you are reliable and familiar with the city/town etc. then this might be the job for you.

Street Fundraiser : There are lots of charities and other organizations which are looking for students who are able to raise funds for important causes, for example cancer research, etc. My personal tip: take up this job only if you are a patient person, willing to approach people on the street or going from door-to-door, no matter how the weather conditions are and how many people don't want to listen to what you have to say.

Retail Assistant : There are many retail stores which might look for students. I would suggest a good time would be Christmas to look for a job like this, since this is a particularly busy time. And if you are lucky and they are satisfied with you, you might have chances to get your contract extended.
