Student Summer Work in North Yorkshire / Harrogate / Leeds

[ogrimwood]

I don't suppose any PistonHeads forum members are looking a summer worker through June & July? I'm at Newcastle Uni but live in York and have had little luck over the last month finding some work in the North Yorkshire / Harrogate / Leeds areas, in order to earn some cash before I go away in August.

I started looking for catering / bar / hospitality work however it seems to have been to no avail unless it is for the whole summer, which in my position is not possible. I am looking at all jobs now.

Does anyone need an extra set of hands in their business or could do with someone covering for those on holiday leave? My fingers are crossed & is CV is waiting for hopefully any job opportunities going.

Only helpful responses please, I have seen others get destroyed on these forum's trying to find work!

Thanks

Yeah since I'm not around in August and I'm back at uni in September, no employer seems to want to train someone to do something for only 2 months no matter how basic. I shall give Supermarkets a look, thanks for the advice!

If you really need/want the money: Go and work there for two months, then leave. People change plans all the time.

If you decide to go down this route, do it at a big company, not a small one (e.g. locally-owned pub) where you'll be fking over the landlord/small business owner.

Yeah absolutely agree on that one!

Spent the last week sending off CVs and cover letters & I'm beginning to hear back and arrange some meetings.

Thanks for the advice PHers, and still if anyone does need cover work or an extra set of hands do get in touch.
