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
