[keshvi]

Hi guys.
I am from India and looking forward to come to Canada to pursue my masters degree.
I have a 3 years bachelors degree in business administration (BBA).
Being a fresher what kind of job may be offered to me as part time?
And usually how much do people earn through their similar part time jobs?

lol part time jobs normally r gas station clerk , store clerk, mcdonalds server. etc they pay min wages and are good enough for living expenses. u may not be able to pay rent or tuition out of these part time jobs.

Assume it will be around $10 / hour.

It really depends on what you define as a part job. Some people get really superstitious on the pay scale.

1; it really depends on where you find part time work and what type of part time work.
2; the pay scale could begin from $9 per hour to $13 per hour (and above) again depending on what you find. The weekly hours will really come down to your schedule and what your employer is willingly to give you. Employers within the university campus tend to take into account your academic schedule but of campus employer might not consider that option.

On a personal level, I worked at my school's calling center for $11 per hour and got just under 20 hours per week however in the summer months I worked in construction earning $15 per hour for 40 hours per week.


Hope it helps a bit.

Thanks for the help! Is it easy to fetch a normal part time job say for example as a salesperson in some store or maybe a job at a local cafe??

I wouldn't use the word 'easy'.
Those are the kind of jobs students are always looking for. Sometimes they are too many applicants for it. Tim Hortons is great at hiring students by the way.
Just in case it boils down to too many applicants for the same job here is an extra tip.
I think it really depends on the need and what you bring to the table.
If you get a car it can increase your chances of getting some good part time jobs. For example, pizza delivery. Apart from the hourly rate you get, you can also earn some good tips especially on weekends.
Some grocery stores employ people to stock their shelves overnight. That job really needs a vehicle because of the odd work time (11pm - 5am). E.g superstore and walmart.

Some good jobs require a car and that is where you may be able to beat alot of job seekers to it. Especially in cases where there are too many applicants.

Another job you could apply for is campus security patrol.

You will have the opportunity to look around once you arrive.
If you can arrive 2 weeks before your classes begin then you will have the opportunity of going around to hand in resumes in all kinds of places.

By the way, you don't need an expensive car. There should be something on Kijiji for just under $3000 CAD.

That depends on you. If you are well-qualified, good at interviewing, and your job is in demand, you can do reasonably well.

As a student (computers), I was working at a $85,000 salary level. During classes, they paid 50%. During breaks (4 months out of the year), they paid 100%. It worked out to $56,700 a year. Some people manage more than that. Most people manage less.

Well I am from management background. However I can say that I am good at communication and can possibly do well at interviews...
But I would like to know that after BBA will I only get the conventional part time jobs(delivery, call centres, cafe, McD etc) or can I be offered part time job in my field also? Say for example in a bank or something like that ?

That really depends on you. Larger employers are going to be less inclined to hire someone part time - you likely will want to try to focus on transferable skills - ways to use management skills in jobs that aren't simply management.

Yeah maybe. It's just that I want to be prepared for the worst come worst circumstances. Btw thank you for your elaborated answer. It surely is very helpful for me
