Tips for Your Summer Job Search
Pernille from Workindenmark has five tips for you, so you can get the most out of your summer job search
People frequently associate summer job searching with unavailability of recruiters, a lack of job postings, and days spent indoors submitting applications. It doesn't have to be that way, though! Pernille from Workindenmark is here to help you make the most of your summer job search.
Be patient
Since summertime is often associated with vacations, fewer people are working from offices, which slows down application response times. To avoid upsetting or disturbing someone who is on vacation, you should carefully consider who you contact throughout the summer. The ideal strategy is to wait until after the holiday season before getting in touch with particular people.
Bring your CV for a walk in the sun
The remaining staff might not be as busy as they typically are even though several office desks are vacant during the summer. This suggests that if you visit the company, they might have more time to speak with you. A fantastic technique to get important information for your application is through visiting businesses.
Start with unsolicited applications
The months of the summer are renowned for having fewer job listings, making them perfect for submitting unsolicited applications. Grab your laptop and find a comfortable area in the shade where you can spend a lot of time researching interesting organizations and writing compelling unsolicited applications for them. Watch this video to get going.
Who has peak season?
Taking into account which businesses might be busy at this time of year can be a good idea. Ice cream stores, eateries, and tourist sites are frequently fairly busy throughout the summer if they are open. Many of these businesses offer seasonal temporary jobs that can result in long-term employment or a wider network.
Reward yourself
The job search process can be stressful and unpleasant. Particularly during the summer, when applying for jobs may make you feel trapped indoors and away from the energizing sun. When you have done the day's application, don't forget to take breaks by going for a run, eating ice cream, or visiting the beach.
Enjoy your summer and good luck with your job search!
