But what exactly does being a “working student” entail? To give you a better idea, we asked our work student Rozanne some questions!
Hi Rozanne, you are Working Student HR at Bunchmark, how did you end up at Bunchmark?
I have been working at Bunchmark since September 2022. First as a graduate intern, during which I did five months of research. During my internship, I also worked one day a week. I mainly took on internal projects and organized events then. After graduation and three months of travel, I returned as a working HR student alongside my master’s degree in Policy, Communication and Organization at the VU.
What exactly does your role entail?
I work two days a week. In which I spend about 1 day a week doing program management of our new development program: Bunchmark First Time Manager Track.
A great challenge that makes me very happy. On the one hand I have to organize and switch gears and on the other hand I have to help think about content. I also organize events, the monthly online intervision session ‘Learning from the Neighbors’ and I help my colleagues with operational HR questions. When I have space I also take on internal projects, such as the recruitment of a new working student 😉 .
What makes this the perfect side job for you?
Within my role as a working student, I get the chance to taste different sides of the HR profession. In addition, no day is the same and I get a lot of responsibility. Exactly what I get energy from! Of course it also demands something of you, but it also gives you enough space to carry out your work alongside your studies!
What are you looking for in your (future) fellow work-study student?
I’m looking for a buddy to spar with and take on internal projects together! In addition, I enjoy learning something from your commercial mind-set!
