I don't have a part time job yet. Because here in my country, if you under 17 it's so difficult to find job even a part time job. If I should choice one of them, I prefer to be a writer. I love to share story with writing on paper. Be a writers blog sounds fun. And a also can get freebies? It's interesting! I think I would enjoy this job.

I feel very offended by such an ugly comment in which you say that people under 1'82m cannot be models. I would like you to remove this ugly comment that can make people feel bad.

Hi brunoquesada,

Thank you so much for your comment and for bringing this to our attention.

This page on our website is very old and we are planning to update it as soon as we can. You're absolutely right that people of any size or shape can be models. We're really sorry for causing offence to you, or other people.

I hope you'll continue to enjoy using the site.

Best wishes,

I've never had a part-time job. I want to be a pilot. If i can.

Submitted by CamiloGutierrez on Mon, 02/17/2025 - 16:38

"That profession seems great to me. For now, I am young, and I already know how to drive heavy vehicles. It would be really nice to be a pilot since you get to see new landscapes and all that. So, the profession you want is a very good one. Just focus on the fact that you will achieve it because you will. Time will give you the answer."

i used to work part time job. So based on my experience,in these jobs, I'd like to work for Coffee Beans. Firstly, it has flexible hours for me because I can work in my free time and not dominate my study time. I still give priority to my studies.. Secondly, it helps me practise soft skills such as communication, solving problem skills, teamwork. Another, i do it because of passion

Submitted by Jenny201 on Sat, 10/10/2020 - 04:16

No. I don't have a part-time job. In these jobs, I'd like to work for Coffee Beans. Firstly, it has flexible hours for me because my schedule is not in order, so it's hard to manage the time. Secondly, I can get management opportunities and gain experience such as communication, solving problem skills, teamwork. As a result, it will be easy to have soft skills and experiences for my job in the future. Last but not least, I'm a big fan of coffee. Every day, it's wonderful to enjoy a cup of coffee. Boost my energy and help me to feel positive about everything.

Actually, I’m a civil engineer with more than 4 years experience and I think of doing others jobs. If I had to do one of these part-time jobs, I would prefer working for Coffee Beans because I really like working in restaurant or café, and I’m used to cooking in our house, so I like this kind of job.

Hi Rachael, You’re right, I’m over 17 years old, but I’m just a recent English learner so, I’m using several websites for having good skills in English, and this one is among them! Now, I’m at the intermediate level in both grammar and reading skills, and I hope to continue in this way until reaching the highest level. I posted my comment so that I may improve my writing skills, but, as you said to me, I won’t ever post any comments, I want you to give me your feedback. Thank you, Greetings from Algeria

I have a part-time job as a teaching assistant. I think it is wonderful for me as I can work delightedly with small kids and it related to my favorite subject (English). In this article, I'd like to try hairdressers or models. I found it very interesting. However, I don't consider choosing that as my all life career.
