Ideas For Summer Jobs

Summer Job Guide


Student Summer Jobs


1. Bar and Restaurant Jobs


If you’re looking for student summer jobs, one of the best ways to find employment is to consider bar and restaurant jobs. Many bars and restaurants will see an increase in trade during the summer months as al fresco dining and beer gardens attract people to socialise out in style.


Therefore, it’s worth browsing online on websites such as Friday Ad for the latest bar, restaurant and hospitality jobs currently available in your local area. From chef jobs to waiting work, you can find all sorts of vacancies on our website.


2. Events and Festival Jobs


The summer season is peak time for events and festivals as people make the most of the sunshine. Whether you prefer Glastonbury or Glyndebourne, the summer is a time for cultural events to take centre stage – and it’s the perfect time to find short term work with long hours to help you earn some money during the summer months.


If working at an event or festival appeals to you, it’s best to carry out a little research into your shows being held in your region to uncover any possible work opportunities in your local area. Often, it’s best to consult with the organisers directly to enquire about any positions that need filling to ensure the event runs smoothly.




3. Summer Jobs Abroad


Earn some money and experience the trip of a lifetime at the same time by considering summer jobs abroad. Many organisations and charities run summer jobs abroad, and in terms of summer jobs for students, some experiences can tie in nicely with your particular area of study.


From conservation work to help protect endangered animals to supervising children at summer camps, there are a range of different opportunities available for anybody looking to consider a summer job abroad. And after all that hard work, you may even have some money left over to travel.




4. Holiday and Tourism Jobs


This type of summer job is probably only a viable option if you live in area that builds much of its industry on tourism or if you have easy access to major local attractions. However, the blend of school holidays and the sunshine often mean tourism jobs are relatively easy to come by during the summer months.


It’s worth thinking outside of the box if you are searching for tourism jobs – while some summer jobs in this area will naturally attract a lot of interest due to the weather (such as working next to a beach), others may prove less competitive when it comes to the application process (museums, art galleries), so try not to limit your options as you begin your search.


5. Internships and Work Experience


Do you have your heart set on breaking into a particular career? Well, in order to impress major employers when it comes to applying for an entry-level job, you may need to flesh out your CV with some relevant work experience – and the summer months can often be a great time to unearth opportunities.


Whether you’re looking to work in a media environment or want to learn a trade, the best way to find suitable work experience in any profession is often word of mouth – enquire with friends or family to establish whether they have any contacts in your particular profession, and they may be able to assist you in fixing up a short term summer internship.
