• Some international students find employment at
  call centres. This is a good choice for those who
  are communicative, friendly and wish to develop
  their language skills. Unlike many other
  part-time job opportunities for international
  students, call centre jobs can be well paid. This
  is important if you seek a job that can
  significantly contribute to your budget. Also,
  call centre jobs are not physically demanding, so
  they are a good choice if you prefer or need an
  office environment.
• On the other hand, working at a call centre can
  be demanding. You need to possess excellent
  communication skills and above average language
  skills. The difficulty of call centre positions
  varies dramatically, for example telesales
  positions are amongst the most difficult and
  pressured opportunities but they often bring
  commission with each sale, further boosting your
  income. Working at a customer support centre
  instead requires excellent knowledge of the
  products, services and the company you work for.

  could work as a waiter, bar staff or even in the
  kitchen, depending on your experience and skills.

  skills but there are often no formal requirements
  when it comes to past work experience. It means
  you will probably be able to find a job at a
  restaurant, which might be an excellent
  opportunity for an international student. This
  job opportunity will help you build your people
  skills, improve language and meet new friends.
