Kimberly’s Top 10 Reasons for Finding Summer Employment
1. Learning Opportunities:
Gain knowledge, experience, and professionalism needed to succeed in a career.
2. Short term goals:
Working for the summer can help you save money before going back to school or saving for that new car.
3. Networking:
While working this summer, make new contacts who can help you find long term employment in the fall.
4. Variety:
Short term or summer employment allows you to be excited about trying something new – you won’t get bored doing the same old thing!
5. Enjoy working in better weather conditions:
Think sun and fun while making a living!
6. May lead into full time employment:
Summer is a good time to discover if your employment is a good fit for you and your employer. If it is, often employers will try to keep you on all year.
7. Signing bonuses:
Many employers will give employees a bonus if they stay on for the entire season.
8. More employment opportunities to choose from:
Summer is the busiest time of the year for health care, hospitality, tourism, construction and landscaping.
9. Earn more money in a shorter time frame:
The fishing industry is a good example of good pay in a few months of work.
10. Make new friends:
Summer employment allows you to meet other people that are not necessarily around all year. For example, tourists or students who are here on a working visa. They too are only wanting short term employment, but may want to stay in touch and become good friends.
