Viral Video on Part Time Jobs for Students UK: An Indian student studying in UK has given important advice to international students through an Instagram video. This video is now going viral, in which he has told how most of the students are losing their full time job opportunities due to part-time jobs.
Instagram Viral Video: For most Indian students studying abroad, part-time job becomes a financial necessity. It is also necessary to work to meet rent, daily expenses and other responsibilities. But if this job starts leaving behind important opportunities related to your career, then it may cause losses in the future. Dhruvi Dave, an Indian student studying Aerospace Engineering in Britain, has expressed her views on this issue, which is getting a lot of support on social media.
Pay equal attention to career along with earning.
In her video shared on Instagram, Dhruvi Dave said that students studying abroad should not limit themselves to only part-time jobs. According to him, conferences, project showcases, networking events and industry meetups held during studies prove to be very important for getting a job in future. She told that recently she had participated in a project showcase organized at Space Park Leicester. What surprised him the most was that very few students from his own class had attended the event, whereas it was a good opportunity to meet industry experts and build a professional network.
Left part-time job many times for career
Dhruvi said that she herself also works part-time, but whenever there was a conflict between her job and some important career-related event, she always gave priority to her professional future. According to him, there were times when he had to leave his part-time job to attend a conference or industry event. He believes that such opportunities are more beneficial in the long run, as this network opens the way to a full-time job later on.
‘Always remember why you came abroad’
Appealing to the students, Dhruvi said that the purpose of studying abroad is not only to save expenses but also to improve one’s career. He said that many students come abroad with education loans and big dreams, hence they should not forget that their real destination is good professional growth. He also told that 70 to 80 percent of the students in his class are Indians, but their presence in programs like Project Showcase was almost negligible. According to him, distance from such opportunities can also limit future employment opportunities. Watch the viral video below-

People said that part-time job is necessary, but career-related networks and industry connections play the biggest role in getting better opportunities in the future.
