Part-time jobs

Helena

I have a part-time job in a café in the city centre. I work there every Saturday from 9.00 to 5.00 and I have worked there every week for almost a year. I like working there – the customers are really friendly and they always ask how I am. We get to eat the café’s food for lunch – it’s all delicious. My favourite is the cheese sandwiches with chips! When I’m older, I’d like to have my own café.

Katja

I have worked in the local supermarket since last summer now and I really enjoy it. I work two evenings a week and a full day on either Saturday or Sunday. Saturdays are the best day for me to work so I can go out with my friends after work and have a rest the day after. It’s often very busy at work so the time goes quickly. I prefer it when I’m busy.

Paula

I’ve got a part-time job in a gift shop. It sells cards and birthday presents and it also has presents for days like Mother’s Day. I’ve worked there for two years and get on well with the other staff. I work on Saturdays, but in the summer holidays I work on some days during the week as well. We sometimes get people asking what to buy for their family – I like giving them ideas. It’s a great job!
