Employment Opportunities for Teenagers

teenage-lifeguardMost people get their first job during their teenage years. This trend is evident during the summer months, when teenagers often work for approximately 8 to 10 weeks on their yearly vacation from classes. Some jobs are ideal for this group of workers, especially seasonal employment or jobs that do not require a lot of previous work experience. Though some of these jobs are not high paying, they do give valuable experience that will help teenagers find a wider variety of employment opportunities in the years to come. Teenagers who seek employment should investigate one of the following employment opportunities and pick the one to which they seem ideally suited.

Current Lifeguard Employment Opportunities

To attain one of these coveted positions, teenagers should do one or all of the following. Ask your high school guidance counselor for job postings that may be sent to the school. This crucial step could also lead to a recommendation, which is an added bonus. Look at the local want ads in the newspaper or on a website like CareerBuilder.com. Walk around a local downtown center or the mall to try and spot “help wanted” signs. Inquire at local community pools. If you want to work for a private pool, resort or country club, ask members of these organizations whether they are hiring. Always be polite and presentable in your job search and send a thank you note to anyone who offers you guidance or assistance.

    Hi guys,
    Here’s a tip: Spelling and punctuation matters. Sure, you can get your point across with out it, but if your first impression is on-line, then that is how you will make yourself look good. Always proof read before you submit.

    Good luck!

    Erica,
    Before you judge, you should probably get your grammar correct. I found at least three grammatical errors in what you just typed. No one wants to be a hypocrite.

  • Henry August 26th, 2008 at 8:28 am 8

    Erica,
    While you are giving others advice about spelling and punctuation, “without” is one word.

  • maureen March 22nd, 2009 at 9:32 am 11

    YMCA type camp counselor jobs, coaching little league teams, working at a children’s zoo or other such places dealing with children education
    You will have difficulty until you reach 18 because of the strong liability issues with working with children
