Amusement Park Jobs
Amusement parks and water parks are great places for
teenagers to find a summer job, especially since these parks are only open in
the summer. There are many different jobs within an amusement park including:
- Ticket taker
- Food and drink sales
- Concession stands
- Game attendant
- Lifeguard
- Costume character
The best way to find a job at an amusement park is to go or
call the parks in your city and ask the best way to apply for a job there.
Grocery Store Jobs
Grocery stores are always hiring teenagers for various job
positions. A few jobs include courtesy clerks, which is helping customers out
with groceries and gathering up the grocery carts, stocking shelves, customer
service and checkout. Some grocery chains can accommodate your schedule when
you go back to school allowing you to keep your summer job through the school
year.
Retail Jobs
Retail stores are another great place for teenagers to work.
You can learn skills in retail like running a cash register, dealing with people,
pricing and inventory and product information.
For retail summer job ideas, just look at the stores you
shop at. If you shop at a particular store, you can ask for a job application
the next time you go in. Think about your interests. Are you interested in books,
you could work at a bookstore, if you're interested in music, you can work at a
music store and if you're interested in bikes, you could work at a bike store.
Mowing Lawns
If you mow your own lawn, you can certainly mow your
neighbor's lawn. Many of your neighbors hire someone to mow their lawns and
other yard work like fertilize, trim bushes and set their sprinklers when they
go out of town. You can talk to all of the neighbors and find out if they would
like to hire you to mow their lawns. It's not a bad job and you will learn
early about owning your own business.
Golf Caddy
If you know a little bit about the game of golf or you are
an aspiring golfer, getting a summer job as a caddy is great experience. Many
city owned golf courses have caddie programs that help students fulfill caddie
requirements for college scholarships. The University
of Colorado has such a program for
example which is called the Evans Scholarship. Depending on the job, a caddy
can earn wages and tips or tips only.
Internships
Being an intern is a great way to get experience at the job
you are interested in as a career. As an example, you want a job in radio as
your career; you can get a job as an intern at a local radio station. Some
interns get paid and others do not get paid, either way, a completed internship
looks great on a resume and you could end up being hired for that company. You
can ask your school counselor about summer intern jobs.
Conclusion
There are a number of good summer jobs for teenagers. The
pay at any job should be at least your state's minimum wage for that industry.
You can also go to the U.S. Department of Labor and sign up for their Summer
Jobs hotline.
