A few important bits to be aware of:
-
Be aware that some adverts are not for legitimate jobs, sometimes this is for agency work that is pretending to be an actual employer and particularly be extra cautious if they ask for a photo or the job sounds too good to be true. Do your research on the company!
-
It is generally not recommended to do more than 12 hours a week paid work during study.
-
You should know your rights, as well as the tax which you may have to pay if you earn over a certain amount and the minimum wage relevant to your age.
-
If you are going to an interview alone then let someone know when and where you are going.
