As summer approaches, students begin
the search for jobs that will help them earn a little
extra spending money for the next school year.
Look no further. Here is your guide to
finding the perfect job and a list of jobs to stay
away from.
Some of the best summertime jobs to
have range from mowing lawns, to baby-sitting, to
fast food, to waiter/waitress, to pizza delivery, to */l*lk4<a
house cleaning, to salesperson, to lifeguard, to
camp counselor and to car washing.
The not-so-fun jobs include, service station When applying forajob, don'tlimityourselfto looking for

Your best bet, the Sunday paper. Or you may also drive around town
looking for signs that say, "Now Hiring." But if you don't go for either of the
above, get out your handy phone book (you know the big book you use as
a coaster) and start calling places.
Although most jobs pay very little, it gives students a boost in their
financial standing. Many students work more hours during the summer than
the fall to earn that little extra that will help them out during the school year.
If you are serious about looking for a job that will help you out in
your career, web sites such as Monster.com can be very helpful. It gives
you the chance to search for jobs in the local area that you are interested in

come your way.
When you go in for the application, have a smile on your face and
dress nice. If you have to fill out the application at the place of employment,
make sure you have the names, phone numbers and addresses of the
people you wish to use for references. Once the application has been filled
out, be prepared to be called back for an interview. When you are called
back for the interview be sure to dress nice, smile, look alert, listen well and
make eye contact. By following the above, you are almost guaranteed a
job.
Happy job hunting.
