Part-time Jobs Fair

We hold our Part-time Jobs Fairs at the beginning of the autumn and spring terms, where you can find out about part-time and seasonal vacancies to support your time at university and build on your career skills. We advertise roles on campus and in the local area, as well as some online opportunities.

The next fair will take place on Wednesday 2 October 2024 from 11am to 3pm in the canopy on Founder's Square.

If you need any support to attend this event, email the team at careers@rhul.ac.uk.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I attend the Part-time Jobs Fair?

It's a great opportunity to find out about a wide range of opportunities all in one place and ask your questions directly to those who will be recruiting
The event is very informal, but you may impress some employers so much that they fast-track you through the recruitment process. Legoland and Thorpe Park often hold on-the-spot interviews during the fair too
The employers attending are there because they are specifically interested in recruiting Royal Holloway students, so it will save you a lot of time on internet searches that may not bring results

What are the benefits of a part-time job?

A part-time job is a great way to find out what you like and don’t like about a role and what you’re good at
You learn new skills when working. For example, by interacting with people, whether it’s your line manager or a team, you are building some communication skills. These are the important transferable skills which employers are looking for
