Looking For Summer Jobs

Finding a job is a difficult thing, but finding a job in the summer can be even more difficult. College students are out of school and looking for jobs. So each college kid looks anywhere that there is a job opening. Even if it is not the best job in the world.

There are tons of jobs for students over the summer for college students. There are office jobs, like a secretary; restaurant jobs like a waiter or host, or a fast food restaurant like McDonald's or Burger King; or summer camps.

If someone has a fantastic resume they could get a job no problem, but if someone doesn’t have the greatest resume they might not get a job right away.

College students have an easier time because they are out of school and don’t have much to do over the summer. Summer camps would be the best summer job because the employees get to be outside all day and they can play with children.

Although there are tons of jobs for college kids to do, all college kids are trying to find a job and they may get passed up for another college kid, or just by another person who is not in college. It is also hard because employers want someone with experience and if you have never worked before it could be difficult to get a job.

All college kids want a job so they can have money for the summer. For food, hanging out with friends, gas or to just have it just it incase of an emergency or safety money. When college students are home for the summer they can only work a limited amount of time because eventually they will have to go back to school and won’t be able to work, or work as often as they did.

Job interviews can also be difficult because they need to be able to make a good first impression on the interviewer. They have to be polite, assertive and be positive. They can not be negative or grumpy. Making a bad impression will not get them the job.

For college kids it could go either way because some may really need or want a job so they will be polite and smile. Others may not be that enthusiastic about getting a job so they would not be polite and smile when in a job interview.

Having a job over summer is a great thing because people can make money and they will do something that they like doing over their summer vacation. It could be difficult getting a job or finding the job that the person would like to have.

A job over the summer is a great opportunity because if one needs a job for the next summer they know that the spot maybe open for them and they can get good experiences for jobs later down the line.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
