With the holiday season fast approaching, more and more employers are looking for some extra help.
These summer positions can offer great flexibility, with full-time roles joined by part-time positions and temporary posts.
If you fancy the idea of a new role in, as with all vacancies on [site_name] the bottom line is to just go for it and try something new.
Here are five ways to help you make that happen.
Super-shine your CV
Having a typo in your resume or covering letter doesn’t exactly recommend your ‘attention to detail’! So make sure your information is not only fresh and up to date but double checked for spelling and grammar. Looking good? Check it again.
Don’t hesitate to act
Start your search today not tomorrow. The earlier you start searching on [site_name], the more opportunities you will have for success. Most companies want to plan in advance for summer so they can have their assistance in place ahead of the holiday season.
Show you can be all you can be
Managers need their new employees to hit the ground running. This doesn’t mean you need to bring years of experience. The most important qualities you must show your interviewer your can-do attitude, your willingness to fit into the work schedule and being fully committed to the company.
Don’t be a job snob
You may have been head honcho in your last job, with the senior managers wrapped around your red biro. When it comes to summer work, however, holding out for a dream job will last until winter comes round again. If a good opportunity comes along, grab it with both hands, even if it’s not perfect. Promotion is always an option, while the experience – and cash – will be welcome in the meantime.
Push the envelope
We mean this in both senses. Correspondence is an important part of many roles but taking yourself out of your comfort zone is how great careers are built. While being a job snob if offered a position will get you nowhere fast, that doesn’t mean you can’t also go for a role you once thought beyond your reach. You may find you’re the only one brave enough to go for it!
