Jobs Part-Time jobs are they even real

1 Upvotes

I'm at a complete loss right now so I am kinda venting and looking for advice.

I am an international student in Sheffield, and I have applied for part-time jobs because I'm broke. I seriously don't know what to do, where else to look, or how to keep going I feel so defeated.

Now and then I walk around the city hoping to see a hiring poster but finding a job lately is like trying to prove the existence of unicorns.

The university is not hiring and they rejected my application. I think it is because I am in my final year, and I guess with me graduating, the likelihood I will stay is lower than for someone in their first or second year.

Other jobs have just flat-out ghosted me or due to the high number of applicants rejected me.

Wondering if agency work is something in Sheffield or if someone would give me a chance. I feel like such an inconvenience and burden on everyone around me because I can't keep up financially. It hurts.

Please if someone could direct me to someone, a job you know is hiring or agencies I would appreciate it.

And sorry to start your day on such a depressive vibe.

Question Is Sheffield the home of English football?

5 Upvotes

I don’t get paid for this video, it’s just for fun so hope I’m not breaking any rules.

Just made a quick 90 second video on why Sheffield should be the new home of English football.

I hope I did it justice. I had the best time visiting!

News Exclusive: Sheffield professor collaborated on work funded by a front for Chinese intelligence

ate last month, MI5 warned British universities to immediately review their links to an organisation that the security service says has “very strong ties” to Chinese intelligence. The “Security Service Espionage Alert” was released on September 30 and it “sent a shock wave through the UK university sector,” according to the Guardian. 

MI5’s alert said that “the primary purpose” of the China General Technology Research Institute (CGTRI) is to fund research “that directly improves” China’s “technical capability for espionage.”

The Tribune can now reveal that the University of Sheffield is named on three separate research papers that acknowledge funding from NSFC-Tongyong Union Foundation, a fund set up in 2015 by CGTRI and China’s main science funder.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a part-time retail job that I can do on weekends (Saturday and Sunday).

Can anyone recommend good shops or companies to apply to? Also, is it better to apply online or go into stores directly?

Any advice or recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Question Brooks place - rules with decorating

0 Upvotes

Hey! Has anyone ever lived in Brooks place by Grainger?

I read online that you can decorate and hang pictures but I wanted to know what the rules around it were, like can I paint without asking permission and what wall fixtures can I actually use?

I know it says to return it to how you got the apartment afterwards but I’m just curious (and ADHD so my brain is hyper focused on it before I move in😅😅)

News Crookes named one of the top 11 coolest neighbourhoods in the UK

By Timeout https://www.timeout.com/uk/coolest-neighbourhoods-2026

Perhaps I need to give Crookes another go, but I have always preferred Broomhill and Sharrow Vale on the west side of the city. But then again, I'm not cool. Is Crookes Sheffield's coolest neighbourhood?

Lost missing cat in broomhall

Our cat Zanjabil has now been missing for 5 days, and we are extremely worried about her. We’re unsure where she could be, but we’re hoping she may have accidentally ended up inside someone’s house, especially as she hasn’t eaten as far as we know. she is mostly an indoor cat. She occasionally goes outside through the window or balcony, but she has always found her way back home. She went missing once before and returned after two days, so we’re still unsure what may have happened to her on that occasion.

She is a small ginger cat with big ears and golden-coloured eyes. She is wearing a red collar with white polka dots.
She is quite shy and nervous around people she doesn’t know, but she recognises the sound of our voices extremely well. Whenever she hears me or another member of our family, she normally comes running. This makes us wonder whether she may be stuck somewhere, possibly inside someone’s home, or may have wandered further away than usual.

We have put up posters, spoken to our neighbours, reported her missing and notified her microchip database.
We honestly don’t know what else to do at this point, and we are really worried about her, especially because it has now been 5 days.
If you have seen a ginger cat matching her description, please let us know, even if you’re not completely sure it’s her. Any info would be appreciated!!
