Re: Will part-time job experience help get a job after completing a commerce/eco degr
To be honest I'd rate KFC/McDonalds/hospitality higher than book keeping when I conduct interviews. Book keeping really only says you have some technical background (probably not to a sufficient level of what you'd do as a grad) and that you are dedicated to the career path- but working in hospitality could teach someone how to work in a well controlled, fast paced team environment which involves a combination of client-facing, being trustworthy, teaching others of different skills/ability/interest, etc. That to me is far more relevant.
ps. Newbie- not everyone here is interested in applying for the highly competitive 6-figure finance grad jobs so whilst your input is appreciated, it isn't necessarily wholly relevant to all situations.
