00:00 Are you a student looking for a job to earn a little extra money on the side?
00:04 Well, you might be in luck, as GEMS Education Group CEO Dino Varkey
00:09 said that over the next decade, more companies in the UAE will hire students as soon as they graduate from school.
00:17 Tech giants like Microsoft and Google have been engaging with students in Silicon Valley for at least 15 years,
00:24 and that could soon be the case in the UAE.
00:28 For now, though, UAE law says that students aged 15 to 18 can only get a permit to work part-time.
00:35 The most common job is interning part-time. Roles can range from ICT to social media marketing.
00:40 This would also be a good opportunity for you to dip your toes into working life while making some cash on the side.
00:48 Customer service jobs are a good choice, too.
00:50 Working retail as a part-time cashier can earn students up to $2,000 a month.
00:55 Part-time jobs at call centers could earn you up to $3,500 a month.
01:01 These usually don't require much experience, but do call for good communication and obviously customer service skills.
01:08 Bilingual students could benefit from working in translation, whether freelance or part-time at universities and banks.
01:14 Students can expect a salary of up to $4,000 per month in this field.
01:19 For Khalish Times, this is Yasmin.
