IDEA #9 — JOB/VOLUNTEER/INTERNSHIP June 2, 2009
Posted by Ms. Klemundt in Uncategorized.trackback
Although it might not top your list of fun summer activities, getting a job, volunteering, or participating in internship opportunities can be a valuable experience that can help you:
- earn money,
- establish contacts,
- get experience,
- learn something new,
- get out of the house.
Try and make the best of a bad economy. Jobs may be for shorter lengths of time (a few weeks instead of the whole summer) or shorter hours each week or day, but you’ll still have a chance to earn some money. If no jobs are available, consider volunteering or an internship position. You won’t make money, but you’ll still get experience that you can add to your resume and references who will put in a good word for you when you apply for other positions or jobs.
Check these sources for jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities:
- Guidance Department here at Res,
- local neighborhood newspaper,
- job board at your local public library,
- websites of organizations or companies,
- church bulletins,
- park districts and community centers,
- nursing homes,
- day-care centers.
