Good mini-job or part-time job?
Hello everyone,
I'm currently looking for a small job to bridge the time until I start my apprenticeship in September. I'm still considering whether I should do a part-time job or a mini-job.
Do you have any tips for good mini- or part-time jobs that you've had positive experiences with? Ideally, something in Berlin and the surrounding area would be ideal.
I'm also wondering whether it's better to introduce yourself in person or to apply by phone or email. What are your experiences?
What is important to me:
– No weekend work
– Working hours only until 4 p.m. (preferably flexible working hours where you can indicate in advance when you are available)
A friend told me that he cannot recommend working as a salesperson in a grocery store as a stopgap job (e.g. because of the need to memorize thousands of PLU numbers and that it is not worth it, especially if you only want to bridge the time until your apprenticeship) and I would also prefer to avoid the catering industry.

I also worked with Rewe and can confirm that this is already annoying with the PLU numbers and so. There are sooo many baked goods that you need to learn all the memorization (and badly it is when the assortment changes so often) and so many vegetables and fruit varieties. If you’re planning to do this for a few months, I wouldn’t recommend that, then don’t think it’s worth learning that way.
Otherwise, however, the working atmosphere has always been good, except sometimes the one or other customer who looks up but that is normal.
What I could recommend to you in the movies. Had a really great time there + free popcorn and drink as well as cheaper entry.
But I don’t know if it’s up to 4:00 a.m. and weekend, you’d have to deal with the boss like that.
Good luck with the job search

You’re best looking for a job as a professional avoider – that seems to be your thing.
Haha, very funny… I don’t want to stress my time until training – it’s already stressful enough in training.
In my eyes, it would be stupid to do a job like a salesman in the food market or in the gastronomy, if I’ve heard from others only badly about it and they’re all about it.
The fact that I don’t want a weekend job and can only work until 4:00 is not fun either. Finally, you have a life and other obligations, which is why I can’t work after 4:00.
Sure, your training will be so stressful that you have to be careful now – better not risk any unnecessary burden. Finally, a job where you actually have to cope with a bit of stress could prepare you for how the working life really works. And, of course, you have a life and commitment – quite different from people in gastronomy or retail, who seem to have nothing better to do than to show you what you don’t want to do.
@okokok1241 What is your problem? He’ll probably have reasons for his choices. And I find it understandable if you don’t make anything extremely stressful at bridging jobs, it’s also his decision. Everyone can decide how he wants.
Wow, how sacrificing you speak for him. Have you been busy with all his life before you interfere in his decisions? If he’s been crying like a bridging job at such a banal thing, how will it be with training?
sad…

Yes, if someone is with such a blinded view as you are, and as soon as the stupid arguments go out with that, it’s really pure cinema.
I absolutely agree.

Yes, I already had mini- and part-time jobs, and that only in stressful industries, so I would say I know quite well how working life works. They all had their challenges – every job has. Besides, I’ve never said I’m looking for a job where I’m sitting around for 8 hours and I can’t do anything and just go back. I’m just looking for a temporary flexible job, no more.
And the flexible job is not for convenience, but for practical reasons necessary. It’s just me not possibleto do a job that includes, for example, late or night shifts or Saturday work. If that were possible, I would do it the same again as I used to, I had almost only late shift, night shift or Saturday work – that would make job search much easier.
But you don’t know my situation, so you can’t really judge and blame me that I’m just looking for a ‘easy job’ because I’m supposed to have no bock anything else. If you’d read correctly, you know that’s not the case.
And it’s interesting how you put people down here that you don’t know and whose experiences you haven’t even heard. I never got the job in the way of “badgeredet”, but simply was advised on the basis of the experience. Just because I was advised not to do something doesn’t mean I can’t do it. But because of the narratives, I personally decided not to go this way, as it does not currently fit my situation.
You have jobs that you wouldn’t do if you had a different choice, would you? There’s nothing wrong with that.
I’m trying to make use of my time for training and not just lean back 7 months and sit on the lazy skin as others would.
Maybe you should just stop defending his convenience and tell him that life is not a pony farm, but he has to pack up. Greeting Bernhard
You’re really a little plem plem
I wouldn’t say he takes on good luck the advice of people, but from friends (do you know that?). So I don’t know if you have good friends but you trusted your friends normally and probably they won’t have said sucking isn’t, but rather they told him better how it was for them what the tasks were, what challenges were and and and
And since I worked with Rewe myself for a long time, I can’t recommend it for a bridging job.
And that he just wants to have one easy job, he never said. There’s something going on. He has said that it is not possible for him and not that he is confronting challenges. Who can read is clearly in advantage
So, you’re defending the great overcrowding job world saver here, just because he’s on good luck accepting the advice of people who seem to have never done anything other than pitying themselves? Sure, everyone has ‘its reasons’, but at the end of the day he will stumble with this attitude just as ‘successful’ through life as the rest of the ‘Lass-mal-den-Easy-Job’ fraction. Maybe it’s just that ‘thinkiness’ that makes you so hot – someone has to defend the people who are pressing challenges, right? Have fun
Have you been busy with all his life? You know why he can’t work after 4:00? Or why he can’t work on the weekend? No, you don’t know as much as I do, but it’s and remains his free choice to work what he wants. And if he has written like he can’t work at those times (as it looks like it’s not because he just doesn’t want to work there) then it’s like that and I think it’s stupid when you write that he’s going around or something.
Sounds to me more like you’re crying around here, and you’re not happy with yourself, because you seem a little tricked here that he can’t work after 4:00 or at the weekend or that he listens to the advice of friends who have already had very bad experience.
So honestly don’t understand why you seem so triggered
So you know exactly how working life works? Interestingly, that you still take the advice of people who seem to have nothing better to do than to pass on their miserable experience to you. Maybe you’re just not willing to really try and find a job that is also a challenge – clear, flexible job without stress sounds of course tempting, but then don’t expect much if you’re going to flee from working life with your pink idea.
I know very well how working life works and how it is to have a stressful job. Nevertheless, I have deliberately decided to listen to the advice of friends who have already done such jobs and advised me of it – above all because they simply do not fit my current framework conditions.
This does not mean that I dismiss or depreciate professions in the gastronomy or in the food market (single trade in general I do not mean). These professions are of course important. But if I know in advance that they do not match my situation in terms of time and content, it makes no sense for me to accept it. People who work in retail or in gastronomy just have other living conditions that allow them to do such jobs – this is not the case with me right now.
I’m looking for a job that fits my current situation – flexible and without weekend work. This is my personal decision and has nothing to do with me wanting to evaluate other professions or people.
