I need to find a job to start in September. I will be a full time student so I will need something to fit around my studies.

I have thought about a call centre like Freemans or William Hill etc.. Does anyone work for these or know anybody who does? I want to know if they are flexible with hours and how i go about getting an interview with them.

I have been told that agencies deal with call centre recruitment, can anyone tell me if this is so and if it is what agencies I need to contact.

Alternatively if anyone knows of any other work which would be suitable please let me know.

I'm starting to get a bit stressed with it all!:(

I know people have opinions of Ant Marketing, but they usually give out flyers in freshers' week offering flexible hours around timetables.
i'd recommend bar work - it's the wrong side of the bar, but you get a sense of being out, and also get paid for it. also, if it#s a bar with happy hour type things, you can get happy prices all week long! most bars will be looking now, so get your CV in for a freshers' week start.

Which uni are you at?
Hallam has a service called netWORK, who are there to help you find part time and vacation work, just need to sign up.

Freemans are usually looking for evening / weekend workers. Last time I saw thay had a banner outside the call centre on Attercliffe with a number to ring.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not at uni I'm doing a HND at Castle college.

I have heard about ANT but I was told that it is telesales work which I have done before and don't want to do again.

Bar work would be fine if the hours were in the day, I wouldn't want to do it at night.

I might have a look in local shops to see if they have a some hours going.

Thanks again.

Freemans constantly seem to be recruiting to me and I hear that they have a stress room. I'd be concerned about both of these. You never know though, it may suit you.

I don't think I'd mind working in a call centre aslong as I don't have to sell anything.

I'm only looking for 16-20hrs per week (depending on pay) My timetable means that I'd have 1 full day free which I'd like to use to work and then do the other hours over the rest of the week, morning and afternoon if possible.

At the minute I work 9-5pm mon-fri and then in my local minimarket sat and sunday mornings. I could possibly get more hours in the minimarket but I'd like to try something else and meet new people. I also really want to get my weekends back.

Steelblade you could try Rock Steady Sccurity.They can be contacted on 0114 2565550 and do take on students as a friend of mine works for them.

What kind of work do they offer?

I don't think I'd make a good security guard if that's what it is. I'm a 5'5 girly.

Forget Bar work and anything else where you don't have access to a PC. How will you be able to access the forum otherwise? :D ;)

Lickzz I don't know what I will do without Internet access. It's going to be so strange.

I may be able to log on from college. I'll have to see.

With regards to looking for work. I called Dixons call centre yesterday and they are going to call me back to do a telephone interview. I have also requested an application form for a job down at the careers service. It involves calling people asking what they thought of the service they were given. It's 4pm-7pm Mon-Thurs which is ideal. It's only 12 hours but thats ok because I could keep my hours at the minimarket.

Steelblade they provide stewards and work mainly at the arena doing concerts.You sound ok to do the job.Give them a ring and ask for Jamie.

hi, willaim hill is very flexible, i have just been for an interview there myself.
the hours fit round you, i 2 am a student, but at college!
it seems the perfect pt.
good money as well £5.36 for 3month, rising to £5.76 then £5.97 after 6months.

I work for William Hill and have had a part to play in the recent recruitment drive.
They are happy to take on students and anybody else but there is certain criteria that need to be met.
The main part is availability this means saturdays,bank holidays and at least 12 sundays a year are part of the working week.
Thats the bad part the good part is it is a really good job and certainly different to most call centre work.

Full training is given so don`t worry if Your knowledge of betting and sport is non-existant
If You think it may be a job for You try the William Hill website on www.williamhill.co.uk

Thanks for the replies.

However after giving it some thought I have decided that William Hill is not for me. I don't really want to work every saturday and bank holiday.

I am instead looking for hours such as 4pm-8pm Monday - Thursday.

I have registered with Hays Personel and am waiting to see what they can offer.

I have also applied for a job at Sheffield Futures which I really want as it's 4pm-7pm mon-thurs and its really good money.

I've also applied to a company to do data inputting this is 5pm-8.30pm mon - thurs.

Fingers crossed I get one of them.

Nice signature

lol this is a 4 year old thread....

Makky D's or strip club..lol The choice is yours!:hihi:

William Hill? Oh goooody!!!:hihi: Yet more staff I can fleece with my very educated guess, running in the 3.30 at Newbury today! Just love it...33/1 and they aint got a clue...:hihi: so WHY would'nt they give moi a job? I know they don't take smart arses , so what chance has a student got with five A+? Would love to know the secret?

Someone appears bitter Puddin Burner, I have worked for William Hill as have several of my friends and we are all intelligent people who have a clue.

Also you're hardly fleecing the staff are you because we still get paid (a very good salary) whether you win or lose your bet.
