Twitter First For Student Part-Time Jobs in UK
Money Saving Student Finance Tips.
by
SoftwareGuru
Having covered discount options for Open
University members, over the next few weeks student finance for
parents and students will again become a hot topic.
To begin, we would strongly advise downloading the latest
PDF Student Finance Guide For Parents from Martin Lewis of
MoneySavingExpert.com
Parents who read the latest available information will be more
capable of guiding their children through student life and
student finance issues.
As I've said before, search engines like Google and
Bing can
provide a lot of answers but it is the role of parents and
guardians to provide the experience and wisdom.
For part-time jobs for students, Twitter has become one of the
first ports of call.
Even in the last few days, through the
Software4Students Twitter profile we have seen colleges and
universities advertising student jobs alongside local businesses
in need of temporary workers.
In this digital, always-on world the likes of Twitter and
Facebook are ways to keep an eye out for potential opportunities
for student jobs.

From The Evening Paper To Twitter
Keeping student debt down as much as possible should be a
priority for most students.
A search for "student finance" will provide you with links to
sites such as
DirectGov where you will find a
comprehensive student finance section with lots of helpful
resources.
Despite the availability of a wealth of student finance
information, some people may decide to put off doing any
research.
Considering the state of the economy at present this would be
ill-advised. Even a part-time job or simply knowing what
benefits you may be entitled to could make a significant
difference over a 3 year period.
In terms of bank overdrafts, it's worth following Martin Lewis'
advice to ignore the freebies and concentrate on who's giving
you the best deal (not which bank has the best marketing
department!).
While Twitter may provide you with windows of opportunity, the
newspapers and their website counterparts will feature student
finance advice heavily for the next 6 to 8 weeks. Now is the
time to bookmark them!
Here are two more very useful links to get you started:
guardian.co.uk/education
independent.co.uk/student/
It might be tough for some students but with free
internet access available from local libraries, determination
and drive can be just as important when it comes to figuring out
what opportunities are available.
Being financially astute is a skill which will benefit you
throughout your whole life, not just during your student days!
