Grenoble: an attractive city for a student job
Want to put some money aside to finance your studies and make the most of student life? A student job in Grenoble is just what you need!
Even though you need to be really organised, working alongside your studies can have many benefits. In addition to being useful for your future work, it's also an opportunity to meet new people if you've just arrived in Grenoble. Although it's best if you can find something close to where you live or study. The Gières Campus student residence is a stone's throw from Université Grenoble Alpes and right at the foot of the tramway station that will take you to the town centre.
Tips for finding a student job in Grenoble
This might be a bit of a disappointment, but you're going to need a CV and a cover letter. Yep, finding a job takes hard work! The first thing we'd recommend is to focus your job search by narrowing it down a little: what kind of job are you willing to do, or not? Do you have a salary in mind? Preferences on your working hours?
Don't be afraid to get out there and meet people at different companies. Handing over your CV in the hope of getting a job when one isn't advertised is often appreciated and shows your motivation. Consider temporary jobs too: you'll save time, be more independent and have more flexibility!
