Building a better way to find part-time work at Warwick - would you use this?
Hey everyone,
I'm exploring an idea for a student gig work platform at Warwick and Coventry.
The problem I'm trying to solve: Finding part-time work as a student sucks. Most jobs want 15+ hour commitments, applications take forever, and the whole process feels outdated.
What I'm thinking: An app where you can pick up short shifts (2-4 hours) at campus bars, events, and local businesses - book on your phone, get paid quickly, no long-term commitment.
Hey reddit mods, this is a survey not an advert so chill out!!!
Before I build this - I have questions:
Do you currently work part-time? How did you find your job?
What's the biggest pain point - finding work, scheduling around lectures, or something else?
Would you use an app for booking short shifts, or is there a better solution I'm missing?
Do you think employers will be open to using something like this?
I'm starting at Warwick in September and genuinely need to figure this out for myself too. If you're willing to share your experience (or just want to hear what I build), check comments for the link
Thanks!
