Hi PH
As a student at university I am extremely limited as to where i can work both during term times and whilst at home for summer. Due to my local area having very little in the way of jobs i`m currently looking at all possibilities. What opportunities would be open for a business student? Im not looking for anything fancy or well paid, just something to occupy my time and pay the bills over summer. Does anybody have any information of know of anything in the Walsall/Midlands that may be suitable.
Its worth a try guys.
Thanks alot.

When I am at uni I don't like to work, however when I come home I can work 60 hours a week or none, under no obligation. Agency work is perfect in my situation, however, there can be some weeks where you wont get much work. It also means you wont be stuck at uni over holidays, why not go sign up to two or three agencies and see how you get on?

I'm not sure what sort of work is available where you are but where I live alot of work comes from the factories, so I mostly just do factory work. It's easy work if you don't mind getting a bit bored, i'd have a look and see what agencies are local to you, as some will specialise in office work, factory work, meat processing etc.

Thanks for that. To be honest at the moment id quite like something menial and labour intensive. It would make a nice change from constantly using my brain and barely lifting a laptop on a daily basis.

Proactive Personnel are good mate, and not too far from you. Hope you find something!
