| I'd recommend finding something you could go back to after you are in college (for summers at home). I went home the summer after freshman year and could not find a job. My school got out in late April, and I filled out over 20 applications, but no one wanted to hire me when they saw on my resume or applications that I was going to college out of town. I didn't want to lie either and say that I planned to stay beyond the summer. That could have been avoided by having somewhere to go back to that I had already worked at.
supery00n-If you started that summer and only work half of the summer, that means you worked less than two months. That's not much time to give any company figuring on how much they spent on training you, etc. But, if they know that up front, it isn't a bad thing. To quit on them without a lot of notice could cause you problems in being able to use them as a reference later on.
As for ideas, besides retail places and restaurants, you could try temp work by signing up with an agency and filling in for a receptionist or something similar. Also, some industries need more help this time of year like lawn care or child care (camps, activities). |
