Conducting a Summer Job search

Why do you want a job?

Are you using the job to get money to pay for school?

Are you using the job to get career related experience?

Are you using the job to get networking contacts?

Decide on what you want to do?• Are you interested in working with kids?

• How about working on the beach, at a park, in the mountains, or at another outdoor job?

• Are you interested in retail or food services?

• How about working in tourism?

You need to research the needs of the local economy where you will be spending your summer.

Quick Tips on conducting a summer job search• 1. Examine the economic market – Your search for summer work should never be done in a

vacuum. Keep yourself informed about which fields and companies will be hiring.

• 2. Start early – January is not too early to begin looking – time is needed to reflect, plan, and seek assistance.

• 3. Be Realistic - If you are in your first or second year, there are certain jobs in your field that you may not be as qualified for as students in more senior years. Look for summer jobs that will allow you to develop transferable skills.

• 4. Find people who can help you – they may be in human resources or they may be hiring managers. More often than not, they will be your friends, family, neighbours, or professors – people you know who know someone you can contact about employment.

• 5. Be Creative – Don’t be afraid to accept jobs in unrelated fields where you can broaden your networking contacts or gain skills, and use it as a launching pad. Look at combining two part-time jobs – one job can earn you money, while the other gives you the work or volunteer experience you really want.

• 6. Visit the Centre for Career Education – Speak with the employment advisor, or career development coordinator about developing your resume, job search or interview skills. Ask about available workshops, or other online resources that can help you with your job search preparation.

What do you have to offer?

• There are 2 key questions that employers want to know the answers to: (1) How can you help me? and, (2) Why You?

• • It is your job as a potential employee to

educate the employer. Employers know nothing about you, and they are not going to know what you can do or how you can help unless you tell them directly.

What do I have to offer?• You must be able to showcase to the employer your

knowledge, skills, and experience and describe and demonstrate how you can apply these tools in the particular position that you are applying for, which will assist the employer in achievement of their goals.

• You have to take an inventory of your strengths (your knowledge, skills, and experience). These are the tools that you have that you can use to help an employer achieve their goals.

Identifying Key Skills – You have to identify your skills prior to writing your resume

Resume, Interview

Develop an industry specific resume

• Do up an industry specific resume highlighting your skills and targeted towards the position you are applying for.

• • The most common approach used by people seeking employment is

to solicit potential employers with a traditional resume. The general theme of most resumes is "Here's what I did yesterday."

• • To be effective in the 21st Century workplace, the theme has to be

"Here's how I can help you today." Your communication has to be very focused on employer needs and how you can help them. What can you do for me today? That's what decision makers are most interested in. Not what your title was in your last job or what you were doing.

Types of ResumesThere are several types of resumes: Skills based, Chronological,

Functional, Accomplishments based

Skills Based resumes highlight and demonstrate key skills appropriate to the job being applied for.

Chronological resumes are used to demonstrate experience in a career field one wants to enter into or remain in.

Functional resumes are combined skills based/chronological resumes.

Accomplishment Resumes are chronological resumes highlighting results / outcomes from past experience

Formatting a Resume• Font: Arial or Times New Roman

• Font size: Minimum 10 – Maximum 12 (NOTE: Keep same font and same font size throughout resume)

• Length: Minimum one page. Maximum two pages (no more!) on 8 ½ x 11 paper.

• When e-mailing, unless otherwise specified, use .rtf (in Word) or ascII (Notepad)

• NAME AND SUBJECT HEADINGS: CAPITALIZE AND BOLD

• Border: Maximum 1 inch / Minimum ½ inch

• Format: Keep consistent throughout resume

AVOID USING TEMPLATES – THEY SAY TWO THINGS ABOUT YOU TO THE EMPLOYER:

(1) You are lazy;(2) You don’t care
