Need Help Finding a Job!

[lashaun1995]

I am a first year Practical Nursing student in my 2nd semester and and I will soon be able to work as a PSW based on my skills. I have been looking around and my main issue is that the jobs may need me longer than I am willing to stay. I only want to work from May to August and most of the jobs are permanent, contract or casual. I want to work part time and have set hours until August so Casual is not for me. How can I look for a job that will accommodate me and not affect my studies in September?

I have already started applying for some jobs.

I imagine most of those agencies are going to want people who will stay with them long-term. Especially if they put a lot of money into background checks and training or whatever else. The ones who don't care are probably going to be the causal ones or ones that don't give you lots of hours at first anyway.

Sounds like a seasonal job would be better for what you are looking for. Some places are going to need more workers for only the summer, so they won't care if you can't continue working after the summer ends. Of course, that might be more in the area of retail, food, etc.

Have you been going to interviews? If not, do it. If not for the job, do it for the practice so you'll be able to better articulate for the the job that you really want. But also, sometimes people are flexible. When you go on that interview, explain that you'll be continuing your studies in September. Ask them if they'd be able to accommodate you. You won't know if you don't ask.
