Employment status?

Hello,

Sorry if this is a silly question but i'm not sure as i'm trying to fill out a job application form online. I am currently a university student but also have a part time job on weekends. So what is my employment status? As i am both a student (or in education as it says on the form) and employed, i don't know which one to select on the job form. Could anyone help please?

    I'd say student. 'Employed' implies you're working full time. Lots of uni students have jobs, so that won't be a surprise to them.

    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".
  • You are in full time education, that is your main role. You might be able to add details of your part time work later on in the form to demonstrate that you have some work experience.
    There are three types of people in this world. Those who can count and those who can't.
  • You could tick both if the online form allows that.

    If not - what sort of job are you applying for - one for after completion of your studies? If so, I'd tend to tick "In Education".
