Months have been spent looking using apps but nothing is sticking - maybe I am looking in the wrong places.
newbie_notes2What is the truth behind finding student jobs in Brussels
newbie_notes2Accepted answer
mister_bxl_77Brussels is a great place for it because of the international vibe but you need to know what you are looking for. The student contract is the way to go since you get those reduced social security rates (it is capped at around 600 or 650 hours per year) but remember you can only stay on that specific contract with one boss for 12 months before you have to switch to a normal one. For those from outside the EU you are limited to 20 hours a week during the term but can work full-time when school is out. My advice is to avoid the fancy cafes in the center without speaking French or Dutch - you will have much better luck with cleaning or working in international restaurants

belgium_vibesjust try working in a bar - you might get more tips than actual wages - at least the coffee is good
wait_and_see2I actually found it much easier to find English speaking work when I moved closer to Leuven (the student density there is much higher).
cocoa_lover_ukYou should look into night shifts at casinos or in logistics, the pay rates are better and the tips can be great too
flower_power_beIt is extremely difficult to get a job in Brussels without knowing Dutch even though everyone speaks French here.
