When searching for a summer job, it is important to tailor your search around the industry you want to work in. For example, hospitality or tourism businesses may be looking for help during peak holidays and travel times, while technology companies may have jobs posted year-round. Researching which positions are currently available in your target sector will put you one step closer to finding your ideal summer job.
December is a popular holiday month, making it an exciting time of year and a difficult season for job seekers. Many organizations stop their recruiting process during the holiday season, typically from mid-November to early January, so that they can enjoy the holidays with their families. Most hiring doesn’t usually occur until January or February when companies are back from vacation and ready to start anew in the new year. However, some seasonal positions in December may require staffing during the holiday season, such as gift wrapping or delivery services.
