Going Higher: Dress for success
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The best way to find temping, retail or local work in your area is to approach agencies and shops in person with a CV. Presentation in these areas may be key issues so you might need to think about dressing smartly and be prepared for a follow-up interview.
Students for "one-off" and "guinea pig" jobs are also recruited via posters on boards, earning about pounds 5 per hour. However, the work is irregular, lasts only a few hours and occurs on a first-come first-serve business.
Partly due to the sheer number of advertisements taken out in University papers such as The London Student, the majority of sperm donors are students. If you are keen to help reinforce this number, call the Human Fertility Embryology Authority on 0171 377 5077 for details of your closest clinic.
Union work is advertised widely on noticeboards or on the college's Internet pages and often requires no former experience. Bar and catering work rotates in shifts so you may be able to choose your hours, making it relatively easy to get overtime or to take a week off to meet essay deadlines. Pay fluctuates from pounds 3.50 an hour (at the University of London union) to pounds 5 (at the London School of Economics Students' union).
