Summer Employment
Summer Employment
Summer employment is an opportunity to earn some money, learn how to navigate a workplace, build your resume, and expand your skills beyond the classroom. Summer jobs often require an interested student to do regional research on employers that have availability, the type of work they are interested in, and tend to follow a more traditional work application process. If you are looking for a summer job on or off campus, the Student Employment Office is a great resource to find positions available for students to take advantage of in the summer and beyond.
Though the availability of opportunity will vary based on the location where you are seeking the job, the chances of landing a summer job are pretty high. It is not uncommon for businesses to hire seasonal workers to accommodate for their changing needs. The Mignone Center for Career Success can be a great resource to help you prepare your application material for the interview process.
If you need guaranteed income over the summer, pursuing employment may be right for you. Because there are so many job opportunities that exist, you have complete control over the location where you want to spend your summer, or the field in which you want to work.
