| Do the Summer Job Quiz and discuss the answers with your partner. | ||
| Summer jobs are not just about the cash! In fact, there are countless | ||
| ways they can help shape your future career. Try this quick quiz on the | ||
| benefits summer employment can deliver. You may learn a thing or two by | ||
| the time youre done! | ||
| 1) Summer jobs are great for: | ||
| a) Sleeping in on mornings | ||
| b) Getting away from little sisters or nosy roommates | ||
| c) Getting valuable work experience and forging professional ties | ||
| 2) If your employer asks you to do something youve never done before, | ||
| you should: | ||
| a) Fake it. Whats the worst that could happen? | ||
| b) Ask someone to show you how its done | ||
| c) Call Mom | ||
| 3) When looking for a summer job, you should target positions that: | ||
| a) Are in line with your career aspirations and build on past experience | ||
| b) Introduce you to a new field you want to try out | ||
| c) Let you focus on kicking back and having fun | ||
| 4) A summer job is a wonderful opportunity to decide whether you prefer: | ||
| a) Brown bagging it or buying the cafeterias daily special | ||
| b) Keeping regular hours or doing lots of overtime | ||
| c) Using brightly coloured paper clips or the plain metal ones | ||
| 5) What type of summer job is most valuable? | ||
| a) A job you cant wait to go to every morning where your colleagues | ||
| are great, you have an office to yourself and the pay is generous. | ||
| b) A job you dislike, where your colleagues get on your nerves, your | ||
| workspace is lime green and bubble-gum pink and your wages wont | ||
| cover any more than two toppings when you order pizza. | ||
| c) A run-of-the-mill job where your colleagues are mostly okay, your | ||
| desk is in an abandoned supply room and the money is so-so. | ||
| 6) On the last day of your summer job, its a good idea to: | ||
| a) Make a photocopy of your backside and post it on the company bul- | ||
| letin board | ||
| b) Shout Hallelujah, Im free! and get while the gettings good | ||
| c) Offer your boss $50 to hire you back next summer | ||
| Answers: | ||
| 1) Were starting off with an easy one. While answers (a) and (b) may be | ||
| tempting, theyre never the best reasons to take a summer job. Work |
experience and professional ties are much more important in the long run, so take your job seriously. Youll develop successful work habits to last a lifetime!
|
|
|
2) Did you choose answer (b)? Dont worry if you dont know everything right off the bat. Most employers know student workers are young and inexperienced, and will probably provide training. If not, theres no shame in asking for a little help.
3) This ones a little tougher. All three are valid goals, so the answer thats right for you depends on several factors, including your age, your expe- rience and how your career is progressing.
For instance, if youre dead set on being a florist but havent got any experience, youre probably best to look for summer employment in a flower shop. Alternatively, if youre not sure what career path to take, you may want to find a job that lets you explore an occupation youve never been exposed to before.
4) Answer (b) makes most sense here. One of the best things about summer jobs is that they give you the opportunity to decide what kind of job best suits you before you begin your career.
Do you prefer sticking to a routine or constantly changing projects? Do you like to be part of a team or are you happier working on your own? Are you more motivated by wages or flexible hours? Take advantage of the freedom summer jobs offer and find out!
5) While job (a) is probably the one most of us would pick, every job is a great opportunity to define your likes and dislikes and narrow down future ca- reer choices. Depending on your own circumstances, it may even be worth- while choosing job (c) over job (a) just so you have more to think about!
6) Its a trick question: the answer is None of the above. Even though summer jobs are temporary, theyre a great opportunity to build pro- fessional ties. Never burn your bridges when you leave: not only may you want to return to the same job next year, but any one of your co- workers could turn out to be your supervisor one day. Always be profes- sional and youll never have any regrets.

Read the commentary from the net page as for summer work in Alaska and take notes if such work suits or doesnt suit you.
SEAFOOD PROCESSORS HIRE CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT SEASON
If youve dreamt of a trip to Alaska summer is the right time to visit the 49th state.
Seafood processors in coastal communities are always looking for workers who dont mind the long hours and working conditions. Work as little or as long as you choose. Some folks arrive on vacation and stay the entire summer.
Most processors usually offer housing and meals at a minimal cost. Hostels, B & Bs, RV parks, campgrounds, and wilderness camps are avail- able if you prefer to find your own accommodations.

Most of these communities offer sport fishing charters, marine and glacier tours, flight-seeing, kayak rentals, and hiking to name a few.
To work you will need your social security card and state I.D. or drivers li- cense. You must either be a U.S. citizen or obtain a work visa and be at least 18.
Wages vary from about $6 to $7.50 per hour. Any time worked over an
8-hour period is considered overtime. Most processors work very long shifts.

AGE
Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and think-
ing, surely I cant look that old. Well, youll love this one
My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my
first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his diploma, which had his full name.
Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the
same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan
Park High school.
Yes. Yes, I did. he gleamed with pride.
When did you graduate? I asked.
He answered, In 1967. Why do you ask?
You were in my class! I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat, gray- haired man asked, What did you teach?

An American lawyer who worked as a volunteer in London shares some information about his taking part in the 7-Week Programme. Read the text
and make up a list of suggestions which this programme provides.
SUMMER VOLUNTEER WORK IN LONDON
Each summer, the Winant and Clayton Volunteer program sends
a group of Americans to volunteer in London for seven weeks and provides
housing and a small stipend to help defray the high cost of living. After seven weeks of volunteering, participants have two weeks to travel inde-
pendently before returning to London to evaluate the program and get their
flight back to the States.
The application includes a few short essays, a series of questions about
the type of placement one would prefer, and an informal interview with former volunteers that gives applicants a chance to find out more about the program.
Deciding to participate takes a small leap of faith. The roster of volun- teer placements and housing options can change from year to year and vo- lunteers cant choose their placement in advance. But once youre accepted you instantly feel that youve joined a close-knit group. The volunteer co- ordinator is in frequent contact through mailings and e-mails to help you prepare for the trip, and there is a daylong orientation in New York that bring all the volunteers together before departure for London.

We were well cared for once we reached the U.K., too: our group was picked up from the airport and taken to our accommodation, a historic settlement house in Londons east end by Brits who had participated in the English counterpart to our program; they offered to mentor us during our stay in London. After an orientation and a weekend to get settled we began our placements, nearly all of which were in Londons east end.
My placement was at a youth and community project, an organization that served mostly Bangladeshi and Somali immigrants. Part of the appeal of my work was that it took me to places that casual visitors never see, like the community law center and the public housing officeplaces that af- fect the lives of most Londoners more than anything on the tourist trail. Although I had been to the city many times before, living in London allowed me to see it as a local.
For my 2-week independent travel period I visited Barcelona, Holland, and Copenhagen but was happiest of all to return to London for a few days before my flight back to the States; it had become my home away from home.
