JOB TODAY<\/a> also recorded a massive 45% of those who signed up to the app this September were aged 18-24.<\/p>\nProving that girls do indeed run the world, the analysis carried out by the UK\u2019s number one hiring app also found that females were 52% more active than male students when it came to applying for roles in the lead up to freshers\u2019 week.<\/p>\n
For September, not only were the number of applications up, but so were the number of jobs published. From waiting roles in restaurants and bars to Saturday jobs in salons, the app noted a rise of 14% from job posters in just one month.<\/p>\n
Freshers\u2019 favourite roles<\/p>\n
1 Barista +24%
\n2 Waiter & Waitress +24%
\n3 Kitchen Staff +18%
\n4 Cleaning +17%<\/p>\n
The research also highlighted a trend that students are keen to adopt skills that will help them survive during university. With kitchen staff jobs third most popular on the list, long gone are the days of beans on toast and with cleaning jobs a close fourth, they can learn how to do their own laundry.<\/p>\n
More specifically, students are keen to land a role in the city of London. Over 700 of them have applied for an office role in Shoreditch and Angel this month, nearly 500 for a Gucci pop up on Oxford Street and 400 for Mango on the same prestigious London road.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the new research, Polina Montano, co-founder at JOB TODAY said: \u201cWith freshers\u2019 week officially over, it\u2019s not surprising that students are looking for a means to make up for the heavy week of partying that no doubt took a toll on their pockets – we\u2019ve all been there!<\/p>\n
