Student jobs: If you need some pocket money, you can take on a student job. In Hungary
student jobs are available from the age of 16. Most students work during the summer
holidays and they work full-time (the English say, they have a nine-to-five job). And there
are some who take on the job during the term, they normally have a part time job. To work
legally, you must have a work-permission and a contract. There are some really popular jobs
for students, e.g. lifeguard, delivery boy, waiter or waitress, cashier, etc.

During the secondary school years it is compulsory for students to do community service in
50 hours. Of course, it is voluntary work, students don’t get any money. The choice of
possibilities is big: you can work in old people’s homes, kindergartens, libraries, animal
shelters, etc.

After leaving the secondary or graduating from university, you can apply for a well-paid job,
if you have the proper qualification. First you have to send in your CV and then go on a job
interview. The CV should contain your personal details, education and qualifications, your
relevant skills, your work experience and it might include your interests. If you are lucky
enough and get the job, you will be an employee at the company.

Many of us dream about an ideal work place. What is it like? Maybe, you have an
understanding boss, reliable work mates, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and most
importantly, you get a competitive salary to be able to go on a shopping spree on pay-day.

Which are the most popular jobs today? The answer is not easy, maybe the well-payed ones.
