You can find a part-time job while studying abroad by following these steps:

- Check visa rules: In the UK, most international students can work up to 20 hours/week during term and full-time during holidays (subject to change). In the UAE, part-time work is generally allowed, but regulations vary - your university’s international office can advise.
- Look for on-campus jobs: Roles like library assistant or IT support are often available and flexible for students.
- Explore off-campus options: In the UK, common jobs include retail, hospitality, or warehouse work. Availability in the UAE depends on local regulations.
- Use university resources: Career services and job portals often list part-time opportunities and offer support with applications.
- Prepare your CV and cover letter: Highlight your education, skills, and any prior experience.

Remember to balance work with your studies and follow all current visa restrictions. For personalized guidance, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
