Casual vs. Part-Time: Which one should I pick?

Casual vs. Part-Time

Here's a breakdown to help you decide what's best for you: 

Casual: 

• Flexibility: Casual work offers the most flexibility. You can provide your availability and may get offered shifts for that availability, making it easier to balance school, hobbies, and social life. 
• Money: Hours and pay can vary week-to-week, so budgeting might be trickier. 
• Holiday plans? Casual roles often don't offer paid leave or sick days.

Part-Time: 

• Set Schedule, Steady Pay: Part-time jobs usually offer a regular roster and consistent income, making budgeting and planning easier. 
• Commitment Counts: You'll be expected to work your scheduled shifts, offering less flexibility than casual work. 
• Benefits Boost: Part-time positions might include some benefits like paid leave or sick pay. 

So, Which Way to Go? 

The Flexibility choice: If you prioritize flexibility and a schedule that bends around your school life, casual work might work for you. 

The Steady choice: If you like regular income and potential benefits, a part-time job could be the perfect fit. 

The Best choice: Consider starting as a casual to test it out, then you might be able to transition too part-time if they have part-time work for you. 

Remember, no matter what you choose, a good work ethic and a positive attitude will always be your best assets!
