looking for a summer job so is everybody
else hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
speaking with a job counselor will give
us some tips on landing that great
summer job so what should students think
about when they’re looking for a job
well I think first of all it’s important
for students to clarify what their goals
are by obtaining this job so what are
their short-term goals why do they want
this specific job right now and what are
their long-term goals what are they
looking for in terms of their career
where can students find information
about the labor market I’d say your best
bet is to probably start by doing your
research and by that I mean starting to
network whether it be amongst employment
counselors whether it be amongst friends
family members websites certainly but
again I supposed to proceed with caution
when it comes to certain websites we
certainly hear it yes Montreal have a
number of different strategies rather
than going online since only twenty
percent of jobs are ever advertised we
really target that other eighty percent
what needs to be on a student’s resume
especially if this is their first job
first and foremost their contact
information which makes the most sense I
suppose but also I think important to
clarify what exactly they’re looking for
in terms of work volunteer experienced
their educational background and as well
what they like to do their interest in
hobbies to really give that well rounded
up profile what can I student do to make
themselves stand out from other
applicants well I think it’s important
for a student to know what his or her
assets are what his what he or she
brings to the table and certainly to
kind of market himself or herself in
that way and to follow up certainly with
any potential employers can you give
prospective employees some tips on how
to find the perfect summer job network
amongst family and friends teachers
especially and to really figure out you
know what do you want to do with your
summer do you have any warnings for
students looking for a job I’d say the
only warning would be is you know to
really be sure of what you want and
maybe yeah if something doesn’t feel
right at the outset not to maybe ask why
it doesn’t feel right shoot students
take the first job they get or should
they wait for the right job to come
around well I think it depends you know
what is the right job and I think if a
student really has his or her heart set
on a job to maybe you know see that
through before accepting the first offer
on the table so what’s the time frame
for a follow-up for students at least
within three to four days and thank you
know probably within the first 48 hours
thank you very much you’re welcome
