Step 1
Determine what kind of work you want to be doing for the summer. Perhaps you want to do physical labor. Or maybe you want to work in an office. Narrowing your focus will simplify your job search.
-
Step 2
Figure out your priorities. You may be more interested in building your resume than making money. Perhaps you want a job that is going to train you for a future career. Then again, you may just want something you don't have to be too committed to and can drop if you need to.
-
Step 3
Start looking at online and print employment postings. You should also consider checking out various bulletin boards around campus as frequently employers who are looking for students post notices there.
-
Step 4
Put together a solid resume. For information on resume building, you should either speak with a college adviser or check out some of the many useful guides on how to write a resume that are available online.
-
Step 5
Remember that your summer job is temporary and be certain to remind your employer of that. You don't want him to start relying on you too heavily considering that you're going to be leaving them in the fall when classes start up again.
-
Step 6
Keep in mind the fact that you are a student before an employee. If your summer job interferes at any time with your academics, drop the job and focus on your classes. Money can always be found; opportunities can't.
