Since then, I've tackled a number of jobs in different fields and learned quite a vast pool of skill sets. Moreover, I got to strengthen qualities which proved beneficial to my every day life. 

Waiter

Many who seek part time jobs for students end up being a waiting staff because of its constant availability and fluid schedule. The most back-breaking job that I've ever done was when I was working at a salad bar as a waiter. I was tasked from peeling oranges to mopping the floor to serving the customers! Nothing seemed out of my job scope! Waitering is one of the more demanding jobs out there, requiring a vast set of skills to overcome tedious daily routines. Although I personally did not like working as a server, I have to admit that it was a very humbling experience. I learnt to be more perseverant and quick-thinking. Oh, and I managed to desensitise myself to dirt. (I used to be a clean freak!)

Admin Assistant

Many make a pass at doing administrative jobs assuming that it will be a waste of time but it can be quite an enriching experience (when properly done). I learnt much working in an office setting, many of which are very practical skills like operating and maintaining office machines. My personal discipline, organisational ability and time management were heavily strengthened as well. Oh, and let's not forget the ever so important office etiquette.

Event Promoter

Perhaps among the more popular part time jobs Singapore has, event promoters are exposed to a diversity of environment, people and challenges. Social skills, as well as quick wit and charisma, are put to the test when engaging customers. Also, image is important as you will be expected to be a strong representation of the brand you are under. Personal grooming will play a big part. I personally enjoy doing events and find joy in building relationships with customers and clients.

Retail Assistant

Very similar to an event promotor, social skills and personal grooming are very crucial in this field. In addition, good organisational and management skill do come in handy when dealing with administrative tasks like cashier balancing. I will say that from my experience, being a retail assistant conditioned me to become a better all-rounder.
