Wade Said:

What do you think of high school students and part-time jobs?

We Answered:

I worked when I was in high school and I managed to maintain an 80-85% average all through school. That was working 4-5 nights a week from 5:00-11:30pm sometimes later. If you are responsible and can handle that much pressure it is a good thing. It teaches values and hard work, and that life isn't free. My job let me purchase my own first car and put myself into university. The job was one of my most educational experiences and I feel I am a better person for it.

Students can have part time jobs in malaysia ?

We Answered:

Yes. Students are allowed to work part time jobs.
If you're a local you just have to show your local identity card & academic certificates (<-- whn required) made copies of it and submit along your applications.

If you're a foreigner, make sure you have valid visa student card & request your residental academic instituations be it college or University for LETTER OF RECOMMANDATIONS. This is to avoid you from running into laws/rules & regulations as a student. I'm sure you don't want to get into trouble thn. get kicked out right?

Among the jobs you can do:-
[Non-professional category]
sales promoters
waiter/waitress (especially in Starbucks & Coffeebeans they pay pretty week esp. for OT, public holidays)
hotel staffs (pay per hour RM5)

You can check for vacancies on websites like www.jobstreet.com, www.jobsdb.com & other print media like your college notice board, The Star ad-post & etc.
But make sure the biz. is valid & not some scam. Be vary of Multi-Level Marketing companies & Forex companies. Check before you apply & sign for anything.

To Lynn - to compare Giant & Pavilion is like comparing a normal budget hotel to a 5 star hotel.
Of course the pay is different, even the cost of expenses to go there & eat there is more.
Especially during holiday seasons, they hv. to work longer hours *even including weekends & public holidays* so it's only rational Pavilion pays more since they can afford that.
