Work-Study-Balance at Weischer.Connect

Balancing university studies and a job can be a real challenge for many students. We spoke to Hannah, our working student at Weischer.Connect, to find out how she manages her work-study balance.

Why Did Hannah Choose Weischer.Connect?

Hannah has been working with us as a student employee since April 2024 while studying E-Commerce in her fourth semester. Her studies and job complement each other perfectly, allowing her to apply theoretical knowledge directly in practice. She had always wanted to work in a social media agency, and now she has the opportunity to gain valuable experience and deepen her expertise.

How Hannah Organises Her Workweek

For Hannah, structure is key: she strictly separates her university days from her workdays. This helps her fully focus on each aspect of her life, ensuring that neither her studies nor her job are neglected. This clear division enables her to develop both academically and professionally.

Flexibility and Support – How Weischer.Connect Helps

One of the biggest advantages for Hannah is the flexibility her job offers. During exam periods, she can adjust her working hours or take time off to focus on revision. Her team is highly supportive, stepping in when needed and sharing tasks to ease the workload. During the semester breaks, she even has the opportunity to work up to 40 hours per week—an excellent way to gain more hands-on experience while also financing her studies.

Hannah’s Top Tips for Working Students

Based on her experience, Hannah has three key tips for students looking to combine work and study successfully:

• Choose the right employer: Look for a company that offers the flexibility you need to balance university and work. Be clear about this during the interview process.
• Communicate openly: Keep your team leads informed about your study commitments and workload to set realistic expectations.
• Keep work and university separate: Establish clear structures to stay focused and efficient in both areas.

Conclusion: The Right Balance Makes All the Difference

Hannah’s story highlights that working as a student employee isn’t just a way to earn money—it’s also a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience. With the right structure, a supportive team, and a flexible employer like Weischer.Connect, it’s absolutely possible to successfully balance studies and work without compromising on either.
