I'm in college and work part time. Do I put student or employed on my credit application?

in Credit cards
Just a bit confused on what to do put since I am both of them.

Both responses would be true. If it were me, I would report myself as being a studentI work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

Would it make much difference on the application?0

Don't know. Have you tried an eligibility checker? You could try one twice. Once as a student and another as employed and see whether the offers change or not....Sorry can't be any more help...I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

Just be careful with using the card.0

If you are a full time student and work part time then in my opinion you should put down student on the application.
You could quit the job at any time to concentrate on your studies could you not?
This will meant that some lenders won't offer you a card unless you have a minimum wage per year.
Go to the eligibility checker before applying willy nilly.0 -

Indeed, however I'd personally have thought that part time employed would look better. That's speculation though.
At this point in time, both would be true. The only question you may be asked is whether you expect your financial situation to change in the near future, which you'd have to (legally) answer truthfully.0 -

Obviously don't try a real application twice, putting conflicting answers. There is a risk this could be picked up as a fraud by NHunter.0 -

What does FPA stand for please?...I did a quick google but couldn't find it....I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.
