Finding Part-Time Hat
You can meet new people, get better grades, and pay for things if you work part-time while you're away. But make sure you follow your visa's rules :
Find out what kind of work your visa lets you do.
Read the rules. First, where you are and the type of visa you have affect the number of hours you can work. Here in the U.S., for example, F-1 students can often work full-time during breaks and up to 20 hours a week on campus during the school year.
You can't work off-campus unless you have special permission. In the US, you generally need CPT or OPT to work outside of school.
Do not forget what could happen. If you break the rules at work, you might lose your visa or even your position as a student.
Find out what kinds of jobs go to schools.
IT help desk, library help desk, and lab help desk
On campus, there are dining or coffee shops.
As a RA or TA, do you want to help with study or teaching?
People who work at the student union or leisure center
These jobs are for students who can do them between classes and don't need any extra paperwork.
Look for Visa-Compliant Off-Campus Work (If Eligible)
Internships or co-ops approved by your school and immigration office
You can get better at what you do by giving your time to good non-profits for free.
There might be rules about working as a freelancer from home. Before you start, you should always read the rules.
Do the right thing when you're looking for work
There are often jobs at the University Career Center that are easy for people with visas to get.
In the U.S., you can use LinkedIn, Indeed, and Handshake to look for study or part-time work.
Campus bulletin boards, department newsletters, and student clubs are great networking spots.
Be honest with employer
Clearly mention your work eligibility in interviews.
Ask if the employer has experience hiring international students.
Don’t accept “under-the-table” jobs—these can harm your immigration record.
Many students want to work for money without having to write papers, but small mistakes can have big results. To be safe, don't work more than what your visa allows. Make the most of every chance you have to get experience on campus.
