Yes , my summer will include a seasonal job working at a water park in Ny named Splish Splash. I plan on gaining experience there to expand my employement experience.
I am hopefully getting a job for this upcoming summer. I want to begin babysitting as well because I love kids. The reason why I want a job is so I can buy things during the school year or summer and save up for things that I want.
Just like last summer, I will be working at a restaurant in New York as a hostess. I got the job last summer and am going to continue working the end of June. Although I would rather do nothing at home, working gives me money for the school year that I couldn't use otherwise. It allows me to use money for things I wouldn't usually have the money for. I will also weekly babysit because I LOVE kids!
This summer, I will be lifeguarding. I go to swim practice everyday at that pool, so it is very convenient for me. I love being at the pool with my friends, and a lot of them are also working there so I think it will be a very enjoyable experience.
This summer I am going to start babysitting. I am a freshman in highschool and I think I am at an age where I should have a small job and earn money. I think that babysitting will be a good job for me because I am good with kids and I will be able to start to earn money myself. i will now be able to buy what I want to and treat myself to luxuries.
The current youth, I’ve found, is one that wishes to work as much as possible. Common banter in the hallways often consists of students talking about how they’re dying for a job” for a multitude of reasons - ranging from preparing for fast-approaching college tuitions, to helping their family pay the bills, to treating themselves to this or that.
As it stands now, I am an employee of a indoor water park that provides me with an amusing job for a pretty penny, and a schedule that fits my needs perfectly. This park is open on the weekends during the school year - which allows me to focus on my studies during the week, and shift into lifeguarding on the weekends. The park opens on holidays, vacations, and seamlessly accommodates the busy lives of students.
During summer vacation, the park is open every day, and guards generally get to select the shifts they work, allowing employees to reach an equilibrium of work and play - so long as they budget their time effectively.
In the area where I live, one of the most common occupations for teenagers is not lifeguarding, but is rather ice cream scooping. The plethora of ice cream shops, mixed with the hot summers and good tips incentivise the younger prospects to gravitate to the profession.
School schedules greatly impact the decisions I make regarding my work schedule. In accordance with the age-old “school comes first” mantra, I only work weekends and holidays to allow me to hone in on my studies when the need arises.
I see there's a load of pressure on students at certain secondary/high schools to look for "internships" or the like for summer activities or to do some fancy/expensive course at a university campus (if they don't have to earn money) thinking this will help their uni applications or help the high school itself in securing "good" placements at uni--hypocrisy on the part of the school, in my view. And yet many teens I work with would prefer to do a summer job, something I encourage them to seek (instead of the "internship" or sitting in another classroom all summer...really??). On another note, it can be complicated for teens who live abroad and can't legally work in their host country. I think we have to help facilitate this for teens and give them opportunities to find work as there's no better summer learning experience.
As a rising junior in high school, I will be working my very first summer job. last year I made a failed attempt to find a job and I think that the main two reasons why I was not able to be employed were the fact that I was 15 years old and also because of transportation issues. My parents agreed that I would be able to work over the summer last year if I found a company close by but since I was only 15, there we not many options available. To answer the question of how work experience ties into the difficulty of finding a job, I think that referencing the issue in an employer's perspective is effective. I look at it as If I were an employer, I would most likely choose the employee with more experience and this phenomenon is quite relevant to me as well. My job this summer was quite a coincidence in the fact that it is a paid internship directly geared towards recruiting teenagers. I think that if I did not jump on this offer, I would still be struggling to find a job. I see this same frustration among my friends who are still applying at this moment.
I've had a job before and I will have an unpaid internship this summer. My previous job was at a clinic where we helped mentally and physically disabled clients. It was a great experience since it was both nearby and new to me, but I was unable to work there the following summers because my employer changed her hiring policies. I have sought paid summer employment, but I struggled to do so. Most of jobs I found either want full-time employees or they're dining-based, or tea. I ended up with an unpaid internship which I still don't know whether or not I should have kept looking around for more jobs before I applied. From my experience, it is difficult. The jobs that were convenient to me that I found online were tutoring jobs but they all required some sort of degree or experience, which I didn't have. Most of the people I know work at tea shops or boba stores. Tea and boba are really popular in my area, so that would explain why students my age would work there. School calendars do play a large part in students' job prospects, since many students quit their jobs by the time summer ends. If school drags on into summer, students will have less time to gain that summer work experience. Also, sometimes jobs require that their employees start work on a certain day, so it becomes complicated if that certain day falls into when the student is still in school. "School" also doesn't necessarily have to mean attending school. I will be taking a class so that limits my chances for work.
This summer I plan on having a part time job during the morning. I am at a age where I should start saving and earning money if I would like to treat myself to some luxuries. Working in the morning at my age will be great because I will be abel to earn money but also hang out with my friends and family in the afternoon and at night. I would get a job that I won't stress about such as babysitting or lifeguarding at my local pool.
Considering that college is going to soon be greeting me around the corner, this summer, I will have to somehow scrimp and save every waking dollar to at least, be able to pay for the microwavable ramen which will be my sole meal at college.....Which is totally unlike my fellow peers..
The reason behind this problem is simple. Complacency. They, were born into the desired social hierarchal standing which they so happily enjoy while I, have a lot to lose. For my parents and I, who I will adore till the day I get buried under six feet of soil, cannot pay some $50,000 for college. While chump change for some, immigrant families like ours have to face the challenges of building from the ground up and readjusting.
So mom and dad, could you please sign that permission sheet tonight?
I currently work at my family's restaurant. I'm assuming that that's where I'll work in the summer, but I can't be too sure. I think that it's only difficult for people without experience to find jobs if they're older. I believe that teenagers have a relatively easy time finding jobs. Many people at my school work at fast food restaurants or convenience stores as cashiers. I think this is because those jobs just so happen to be the most willing to employ teens our age.
