READ and Apply
WOW ….
We hate to say this, but we are disappointed with the lack of attention to detail from some students applying for part-time paid work via our platform. Rent-a-Student is a non-profit organsation trying to HELP students! We have businesses asking for students non-stop and our reputation means students get good pay!!
Rent a Student was formed to help students. Employers (in the main) want to help students, but the quality of applications has declined!! When we ask for a photograph – we need a photograph, when we ask for a CV we need a CV, when we say the job is in Johannesburg and students apply from Cape Town it is NOT acceptable! When students apply and then do not show it is totally unacceptable. YES that is the reality, students apply for positions and when given the position, they fail to show up = lost client = bad reputation = the end of this Non-Profit … PLEASE Respect us, respect yourself, respect the clients wanting to help students.
We give work experience to over 1,000 students a month, we have a minimum wage policy of R40 per hour, so please only apply if you have read the brief and can do the JOB.
PLEASE, remember that first impressions count.
PS – Congratulations to the many students who do excellent work! We are proud to have you on-board!

Do you use a computer or phone? The site does have a few glitches with phones. Please try a computer. Resetting passwords should be easy and we get 10+ per day so again use a computer

Good day
Everytime I try to upload a picture I receive an error code 404:forbidden. I tried using my phone and laptop and still encounter the same problem.

I see you did apply, the website is very busy and we are in the process of upgrading. Please be patient, perhaps clear your browser cache?

can you advise what you were doing. I just created a new account, uploaded a .docx file, applied for a position and attached it. No problems at all?

How do we know if we have the job or not? I have applied for jobs where I did not get an acceptance nor a rejection notification and the date of the job came and went. It would really help to know this information. Thanks

You will not get notified if you do not get the job. We have over 50,000 students and do 500-1,000 job placements a month. There is 1 employee .. me… I simply do not have enough time to do this sorry. We also operate non profit so we cannot employ more staff at present. Hope you understand! John.
