Summer Jobs for Students: 10 to Try

The 10 most interesting summer jobs for students. Here they are, together with some useful advice and information.

If you’re not busy with college entrance tests, high school diplomas or other exams during the summer time, you might like to try getting a summer job. Seasonal jobs are a great way to put aside something for a holiday or for a special new gadget.

Summer jobs for students: the most interesting options

  1. Activity leader: Working as an activity leader in a tourist village is definitely an experience worth trying. The work is demanding, but you’ll make friends with lots of people.
  2. Working at an amusement park: During the summer, theme parks such as Disneyland or Gardaland are overflowing with tourists. So the various companies are on the lookout for young people willing to work over the summer season.
  3. Working at Music Festivals: Are you a music-lover? There are lots of festivals over the summer, and there’s always a need for help at the bar, or with merchandising or security.
  4. Lifeguard at a water park: If you have a lifeguard license, you could try doing this instead of working on the beach. You will meet many more people and will be working in a stimulating environment.
  5. Bartender at a disco: In summer, the nightclubs are heaving. Many nightspots need extra staff to work by day or night. If you like music and don’t have problems sleeping, this could be the job for you.
  6. Work experience: Have you already decided on your future career? You can ask a company in your chosen sector if they have any internships available. In this way, you can have an interesting time and prove yourself to the company.
  7. Baby-sitting: If you want to have fun at the beach and you enjoy playing with children, you could offer your services as a baby-sitter, looking after the young ones while their parents relax.
  8. Au Pair: This is a perfect solution if you want to go abroad, learn a new language and work at the same time.
  9. Tutoring: This is a classic job, but it allows you to revise your subject and make good money even if you only work a few hours a day.
  10. Porter in a luxury hotel: This may not seem like a particularly tempting job, but have you considered the tips?

There are so many different jobs that you can do in the summer. What you need is a good CV and an excellent cover letter, especially if you don’t have previous work experience.
