What matters for a part-time job

⏰

State availability

Evenings, weekends, term-time or holidays — availability is often the deciding factor.

🤝

Reliability & attitude

Punctuality, teamwork and willingness to learn outweigh a long history.

📄

Short & scannable

Half a page to one page is plenty for a busy manager to read at a glance.

Accounting & Finance specifics

Accounting and finance recruiters want numeracy, accuracy, relevant software and any progress toward professional qualifications. Lead with numbers: “Reconciled monthly accounts for a £4k society budget with zero discrepancies” or “Built a DCF model in Excel for a coursework valuation.” Precision signals the mindset the field rewards.
