As an international student studying abroad in countries like Canada, UK, USA, Australia, UAE etc can be a bit expensive even if you are given some amount of scholarship by the institution, hencem having a side job/hustle can go a long way to help pay for some of your bills. The good news is that there are lots of jobs for international students like you when you travel abroad. What is important is the knowledge of where to find them.  

Once you arrive, you will have the opportunity to submit your CV on the relevant job portals, or to drop them at the various offices, shops, stores that are demanding for applicants to submit their CV’s to them. Once your admission and visa is confirmed, I do not think you have to wait until you travel abroad before submitting your application. At Jakes Embassy Limited, we go the extra mile to provide the needed support to help our students to start going online to submit their application before they leave their various African countries.

So going online to start applying in advance is the best method for getting a job in Canada, UK, USA, Australia, UAE and the Schengen zone for international students. I am sure you will be happy to know that that you’ve got a casual or part-time position waiting for you aside from the white-color jobs you will be exploring.  If you’ve got strong time-management and organization skills, working a part-time job while you study can be an effective way to earn an income. On an international student visa (Student route visa), you’re able to work up to 20 hours per week during the term.
