Search Paid / Volunteer Jobs
Job Search Resources
The following internet sites are just some of the resources for finding work - part-time, summer jobs, or full-time work. Remember these other, important ways to search for work:
- Check out the Classified section of your local newspapers. Many part-time / summer jobs are listed in local newspapers.
- Don't hesitate to contact employers directly, especially if you want to work in a small business. Teens and the Job Game can give you guidance on how to do this.
- Network: Talk to friends and their parents about possible job opportunities they may have heard about.
- Talk to your Guidance Counselor about possible job opportunities or internships.
- Volunteer work can often be a great way to check out some career options if you can't find a paid job. You are also making a great contribution to your community when you volunteer.
