Summer Activities

Are you looking for a Summer Job?

Where should you look? Think about places you go to more in the summer than in the winter:

  • Parks
  • Area historic attractions
  • Amusement Parks
  • Pools
  • Stores
  • Movies
  • Library

All these places need more help in the summer to accommodate the increase in business.

Most people vacation in the summer.

  • That can mean jobs for you

Companies could use temporary help filling the jobs of vacationing employees.

  • Some call temporary agencies
  • Some hire people to move around and fill those spots during the summer

Want to work for yourself.

  • Take care of animals or plants when neighbors are away
  • Watch younger children during the day for neighbors who work

Network, Network, Network

  • Tell everyone you know that you're looking for a job this summer
  • Start early. Don't wait until June

Think about volunteering

  • It looks good on a future application for work or college
  • Have a career you really want to explore
  • Summer volunteering is a good way to experience a career choice
  • Even if an employer is not able to hire extra help for the summer, they may be willing to take on a volunteer and an extra pair of hands
