Summertime is a great season to pick up a second job or work a temporary gig. Every summer season, there are many positions available other than fast food and retail jobs. You just have to know where to look. So, if you’re out of school, between employment, or just looking to pick up some extra cash, make sure to check out these hot summer job opportunities in your community.
Work Outside
Many cities have a local parks and recreation department that’s responsible for community pools, golf courses, and other activities. Parks and recreation positions are available seasonally to job seekers who want to enjoy the sun and heat of the summer. Check out your local parks and recreation website to find employment opportunities for positions like:
- Lifeguards
- Pool help, such as selling snacks or accessories
- Golf course attendees and golf cart drivers
- Ballpark concession stand workers
- Sports umpires and referees
- Park maintenance and security
Work with Children
Many children who are out of school for the summer participate in summer activities like sports or need a baby-sitter while their parents are at work. So, if you’re interested in working with children this summer, check out these seasonal jobs:
- Daytime camp counselor
- Tutor
- Baby-sitter or nanny
- Class instructor, such as arts and crafts or sports instruction
- Summer school assistant
If your schedule allows, getting a summer job can be a great way to build your résumé, earn income, and even make friends while still having fun in the sun. The possibilities of summertime employment are already growing, so find the job that’s right for you – whether you’re looking to improve your job skills or just get a tan.
