Various companies do place advertisements on different sites for job openings. It could very well turn out to be a one-stop shop for your summer job needs.

Try and take up work you are passionate about. If you are an art buff, see if you can work on jobs that are even remotely connected with art. You will soon find that work does not seem like work anymore. It will also add strength to your resume.

Another great way to look for jobs is at job fairs. Schools, universities and colleges also receive a lot of job advertisements. Find out if there have been any job postings.

Package yourself well and create a good first impression and you may be one step closer to your dream summer job.

A work abroad program is another option. It may seem expensive, but the experience gained could be immense. You would be exposed to interesting cultures and a new way of life. It may give you an interesting life experience that could be of great help.

So first find out what you want from a summer job and then go get it. It could be yours if you try hard enough.
