Hello, Summer Student Job! – Pocket Money and Experience in Just 2 Months

For everyone who isn’t afraid to sacrifice a bit of free time in the name of career growth – and a thicker wallet. At Y Diák, we warmly welcome all full-time students over the age of 16 with parental consent. And even if you’ve just turned 15, you can still work during the summer holidays.

It’s important to note that even if you’re a night owl, working at night is prohibited under the age of 18. We can only employ you between 6 AM and 10 PM.
To get started, all you need to do is register on our website, visit our office to finalize the paperwork and sign the documents, and you're ready to browse!
You can read more about how our student cooperative works and how registration happens. 😊

Why is it worth getting a student job during summer?

You earn money

Of course, the biggest advantage of summer work is that you can earn some great pocket money, which you can spend partying with friends, or save up for a driving license or a new laptop.
For every available job on our platform, you'll see the exact hourly wages listed.

At Y Diák, we strive to connect our corporate partners with the best young talents, and help students find the coolest and best-paying student jobs.
You’ll find a wide variety of job offers that can fill up your piggy bank.

Whether it’s light physical work, office jobs, seasonal roles, or corporate internship programs, you’re just a few clicks away from gaining valuable experience and income.
Don’t forget: students are also entitled to the legal minimum wage, which means you can expect at least 963 HUF per hour.

Summer work: free time vs. experience

We always emphasize: experiment with different fields while you still have time.
No one expects you to know at 15 or 16 exactly what you want to do after school, and that’s exactly what student work is for!

You might feel like you're giving up your free time by working, but a summer job gives you much more than you’d think!
After graduation, many students struggle with not knowing what to put on their résumé.
If you start planning ahead and try out different jobs during school, you’ll gain valuable experience that will make you far more attractive to future employers.
Still think chilling out all summer is a better idea? 😉

Finally learning outside of school, through real-world experience

Most vocational and secondary schools, as well as higher education institutions, require mandatory internships – and not without reason.
School provides strong foundations and theoretical knowledge, but real learning happens when you complement it with practical tasks.
A summer job is the best way to gain this kind of hands-on experience.

You’ll learn to take responsibility for your own work, collaborate in teams, improve your problem-solving and communication skills – and we could list many more soft skills that school doesn’t necessarily teach, but a student job definitely does.

Even jobs you think aren’t for you can benefit you

Whether you’re drawn to IT, logistics, manual labor, or something else entirely, don’t be afraid to explore new areas.
With a summer student job, you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain – especially improved communication skills and useful experience that will benefit you in any field.

Even if the job seems completely outside your comfort zone or personality, give it a try anyway.
Now is the time to experiment.
If you dream of working in an office someday, why not spend a month working in agriculture or a warehouse?
You might fall in love with a profession you were previously afraid of.
So dive into the deep end, and find out as soon as possible where you’d like to go in the big wide world.

Your future studies might depend on it!!

Do you know someone who regretted choosing a technical university with a humanities mindset, or who now hates their job?
Don’t fall into this trap – start evaluating your options years in advance.

A summer student job can bust common myths and stereotypes about various professions, and completely reframe your perception of many roles.

Don’t believe the movies and series – real life often paints a very different picture of a job.
Get hands-on experience to see for yourself what office or physical work is really like.
Even a single month can be enough to tell if you like the environment or not.

As we mentioned, your student years are the ideal time to try out various paths – because later, in the adult world, switching jobs can be much more difficult and frustrating.

You’ll have a great résumé even before your first real job

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “It’ll look good on your résumé”, when someone talks about a student job.
At first, it might sound superficial – but gaining early experience and building a colorful CV will definitely give you an edge in the job market.

That means after finishing high school, college, or university, you’ll be able to find a job you like much faster.
You won’t have to spend months – or worse, years – job hunting.
Your CV will immediately show that you’re motivated and experienced in the world of work.

Start working this summer and let your résumé make you stand out from the crowd!
