Step 1
Use a computer with an Internet connection. Search “biking” and “summer job,” along with other relevant keywords, on your favorite search engines. The biking and eco-adventure communities have taken to the Web in a big way. These simple search terms will likely yield dozens of on-target results.
-
Step 2
Pay especially close attention to Web sites that serve as portals for outdoor employment opportunities and professional hubs for employers and job seekers. You will likely come across many Web sites that list jobs by region and activities, such as biking. Look for a site that keeps tabs on camps and tour groups looking to hire leaders.
-
Step 3
Register and become a frequent visitor at sites like Cool Works (see Resources below). Subscribe to weekly email newsletters and participate in discussion forums in your areas of interest. Great summer job opportunities are often the result of serendipity and networking--being the right person at the right place and at the right time.

Step 4
Use Web sites that will allow you to post a resume and allow potential employers to contact you. This way, you will have time to search for jobs while jobs are searching for you!
-
Step 5
Search for jobs by location, activity, and your skill level and qualifications. These criteria will help you filter out the noise and zero in on the most appropriate opportunities.
