Jobs

Waiter, taxi driver, babysitter - it's not uncommon for jobs during a degree programme to be more educational than the actual study itself. New experiences away from the university campus ensure personal development, document commitment and interest to future employers - and fill the household budget at the same time. In addition to the notices in the refectory foyer, the following platforms offer jobs for students from the region:

• www.ruhrnachrichten.de
  The job portal of the Dortmund local newspaper.
• www.stellenwerk-dortmund.de
  The job portal of the TU Dortmund.
• www.fh-dortmund.de
  The job portal of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences.
• jobsundwohnungen.asta-dortmund.de
  A job and housing exchange run by the AStA of the TU Dortmund.
• www.studierbar.org
  The AStA of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences also runs a housing and job exchange.
• www4.fh-swf.de
  A job exchange for students in Soest, Meschede, Hagen, Iserlohn.

By the way: The Studierendenwerk also offers jobs to students, for example as a waitress or kitchen assistant. You can find all offers at www.jobs-studentenwerke.de/dortmund.
