lol so if you do 3 internships instead of 1, then you'll raise your chances of landing a job?

Also aren't there part time jobs specifically for uni students in the area they are studying (e.g. for law students they could be a paralegal or a legal assistant)?

If an education/science uni student does tutoring in his/her spare time to earn money, will he/she raise the chances of landing a job?
1. yea with the obvious time constraints. that being said, it can also have a negative effect - someone whos basically interned everywhere under the sun gives the impression they don't really have a sense of loyalty - what's stopping you from basically doing the same thing when employed. its about developing a brand, and its never a good idea to spread yourself too thin

2. yea, but it depends on the area whether it's helpful or not. work experience in general is always helpful

3. idk, i would assume so

1. Practically, doing an intern at 3 different companies doesn't look impressive but rather do it at the one place the whole time?

2. There isn't really much tbh like how I mentioned law students being paralegals and assistants and such. Other than that there are jobs such as marketing, Software engineering, ... hard to say since certain jobs require you to have..like requirements in that sense

3. I heard teachers have to deal with a wide range of kids, starting from lazy to disrespectful, to rude, to not willing to learn. It's not about teaching kids who wan to learn and such

1. A lot of it really depends of the field - what are you interested in?
I would say its better to develop a really good relationship with a company rather than somewhat superficially with three

2. Again what field/s?

3. I would say it's about both; a great teacher can deal with both underachievers and high-achievers.

What's the point? You're only going to spend like 2-3 days there
My grandparents from overseas are visiting for the first time since a good 10 years. And they're visiting Sydney and Melbourne (as two examples) as a part of a tour around Australia and NZ.

That and I'm a UNSW student. I have the full week off after Good Friday
