Ah, summertime jobs. I remember one of my first was working as a receptionist at a portrait studio. I was so excited to finally be earning some money that was not based on chores at home--especially since it was the summer before I turned 16. The only problem was, the day before I started this new job I was in an unfortunate boogie boarding accident in which my face hit the ocean floor. Ouch! To make matters worse, I had sunburned skin that peeled off quite easily. Needless to say, I looked somewhat similar to the Bride of Frankenstein (but not nearly as pretty) on my first day, but at least I wasn?t the one getting my portrait taken!

As summertime is almost here, we are celebrating the season with a new component of Employment Guide 2.0. By simply clicking on the Summer Jobs icon in the upper left corner of the EmploymentGuide.com home page, you can now search for hourly and skilled seasonal work. This will take you to a landing page featuring cities that are currently offering seasonal work. From there it is easy to navigate through various local opportunities by clicking on the company icon of your choice. Just be wary of how you spend you recreational time, especially if your new job is in customer service!
