Sahi Job

I have a job at a daycare center with three years of experience, but I don’t get enough hours, and next summer I would like a new job. It doesnt have to be in child care, I actually just want a job where I can sit around and work, not run after toddlers. I’m not too great with numbers, and really great with people.

I like eTeenJobs. They have a great website set up for teenagers looking for summer jobs. They help you start thinking about your career after school and have tons of information.

I just need some tips on getting a summer job, I plan to hand out loads of CVs on Monday, any tips. I need a summer job as Im awaiting my GCSE results and have a long 2 months to work and have fun! I have experience, I worked in a hairdressing salon for 6 months last year so have experience in dealing with members of the public. Have u got any tips to maximize my chances of actually getting picked over others? Thanks xx

Groom yourself well and don’t ramble on about random stuff when interviewed.

hello a friend and i wanted to find a summer job in the GLENDALE/TOLUCA LAKE/HOLLYWOOD/BURBANK/ area (CALIFORNIA) we are 15 years old if you know any place it’ll be a lot of help.

i suggest you wait a couple of more years. You wouldn’t get paid as much as you would when you’re older. Face the fact that professional employers hire mature people.

I just finished my first year of mechanical engineering at college. There’s a paid graphic arts internship that I’m interested in and can easily get. Getting a mechanical engineering-related internship or job would be much harder because I live in NYC and things are competitive. How much should I worry about getting engineering-related experience in my first summer?

I am a 51-year-old mechanical engineer who had to hire, on different occasions, two experienced mechanical engineers and one right-out-of-school mechanical engineer. So I have some but not a heck of a lot of experience hiring.

My two cents: Don’t sweat it, take the graphic arts internship . You are too early in your studies to worry about getting an engineering summer job THIS summer. Do worry about getting an engineering summer job NEXT summer.

My reasoning:

1.-No offense, but if I remember freshman year right (it’s been a while) you probably haven’t had the serious engineering courses that would allow you to have a serious engineering summer job freshman summer anyway.

Basically, you can take the graphic arts job, be happy, not do any engineering work this summer, or you can search for a so-called engineering job, be miserable and STILL you wouldn’t get to do any engineering work this summer.

2.-One common complaint from **my** students now and from **my** classmates when I was a student is that engineering summer jobs pretty much suck. You basically end up, well, carrying my briefcase.

Even if the summer job is an engineering job you don’t get to do real engineering work. I remember being an engineer at one of the "Big Three" automotive industry companies, and the summer students rebelling because they wanted "engineering jobs". We the engineers told the bosses "Never mind the kids! We (the engineers) want real engineer work because ALL we do all day is PAPER work".

3.-By all means, put your very best effort to get engineering experience in your next summer jobs, no question about it. However, when we (51-year-old engineers) hire right-out-of-school engineers we know you do not have experience. If we had wanted experienced engineers that’s what we would’ve asked HR to get. In any organization you do need a mix of experienced and right-out-of-school engineers.

But back to the non-engineering graphic arts job this summer.

Want to get the most out of the graphic arts job? Do it well. Be dependable. Have initiative. Be resourceful at work. Impress your boss(es). Get into project or management work as much as you can (do things like organizing, assigning work, setting and controlling schedules). By any devious yet moral ways try to become a group or team leader. Do your best to get "communication" tasks, meaning tasks that forces you to develop your verbal and written communication skills. Make verbal presentations to clients. Write reports.

Sound like very little engineering? All of that is what I do the most at work. And I am a design/R&D engineer.

What I am trying to say is, if you get experience in what I have just told you this summer **I** will hire you myself when you graduate because all of those things I mentioned are most of what you will do in a "real" engineering job anyway.

When you graduate, you tell your interviewer you did all those things I just mentioned, and you will be ahead of your classmates who were doing "engineering" summer jobs.

I am 15 and want to find a summer job. Other than just going into stores and asking if they need help, I don’t know what to do.

As much as you may not like actively making the rounds you are going to find jobs don’t come to you and ring your doorbell. You have to be active and aggressively work at getting a job. You will be selling yourself so look presentable, let your positive personality show and be energetic when applying. Companies do not want to hire sloppy, people who give one word answers and are not optimistic and enthusiastic. You’ve got to sell yourself. You’ll be turned down many times but that next application may be the job you’re searching for. Go for it and good luck.

Most business owners do not explore new marketing strategies until they experience a sharp decline in their revenue. Avertising campaigns are not evergreen. They evolve and grow, improve and degenerate. Most work at home, or small business owners shell out a substantial amount of money for a good ad campaign and then let it run dry.

The first strategy for success is found in the way you view the advertising campaign’s purpose. A good advertising campaign needs to do three things. First, it needs to collect data on the market. Who is buying. What is hot, and what is not.

Second, it needs to collect vital information about the people who make a purchase from your website. This can be compiled into a profile that helps you determine how to best reach your target market. It is a market research tool that helps determine what types of advertising works, at what times of the year.

Third, it should ‘brand’ your name and logo. A successful advertising campaign will imprint the company name and logo onto people’s subconscious. This increase their ‘decision to buy’ response when they visit the website

For example, online shopping increases dramatically just before Christmas, but only if the payment gateway is fast and easy to use. However, if the user must leave the website to use the payment gateway, like paypal.com uses, then the statistics do not change. However, the payment gateway does not effect sales in the summer.

You’ll notice that no aspect of an advertising campaign is to sell the product - that is your website’s job. A successful marketing campaign manager never measure’s an advertising campaign’s success based on sales.

Large corporations will tell you that a successful advertising campaign may run for months before the results appear on the income statement.

The advertising campaign should be reviewed often, and compared to new methods, in the hunt for new ‘hot markets.’ However, hot markets burn out very quickly. The whirlwind of change that continuously sweeps through the marketplace is a powerful balancer. It gives small businesses an edge over the elephants that move slow and react to change in months, not weeks.

This is true, but there needs to be balance. Always keep 80% of the marketing budget in the tried and true marketing methods - even if they do not offer the big rewards. The other 20% of the marketing budget is free for exploration of new advertising mediums. Don’t discount anything. Look at the fortunes made when youtube.com and myspace.com skyrocketed to fame. For a few months, advertisers were raking in millions.

It is also important to keep a finger on the pulse of the population. There is a time to brand your company, and a time to break away from the pack and create a new image for yourself like Calvin Cline did with their underwear commercials.

The important thing to remember is to focus. Calvin Cline didn’t try to sell underwear to all age groups, they focused on a narrow niche. Work at home and small business owners need to learn this lesson - niche marketing is the secret to making millions.

The potential is expansive. Clever competition and new technology should be seen as marketing tools, not threats. Staying on the cutting edge is all about innovation and creativity. Money is no longer the #1 element to success. Many small businesses are becoming international on small budgets.

Landscaping, like many other tasks, is best undertaken once you know what you are trying to achieve. By planning your project in advance will give you a greater chance of achieving results to be proud of.

By using your creativity and devoting a little time to planning your garden design you can come up with a great plan and save yourself a whole lot of hassle later down the line. It’s always a good idea to start with a pen and paper: planning your landscape design is one of the most crucial phases of the project as it will avoid you spending time and money on things that are counterproductive or do not belong in the design.

Be Wary Of Short-Cuts
There are a couple of things to keep in mind when embarking on a new landscaping project. First of all you need to make sure you take your time to decide what it is you are aiming for. Also ensure that you have all the bits and pieces that you will need to complete the project before you get started, to save last minute runs to the store half way through a project.

The next thing to keep in mind is that you want to give yourself the necessary time to implement your ideas: there is no point spending time thinking up a design only to botch the execution. You would end up with a disappointing result, which is not the self image you want to project when visitors see your yard for the first time! If you want to enjoy the summer months in your new garden you should aim to start in the spring.

Find Inspiration
If you’re looking for some ideas to inspire your design scheme, browse gardening magazines and books: there are a lot out there and you should easily find things that will appeal to you. It’s also useful to get tips on how to actually do the work, as some will even give you complete instructions on how to achieve the results.

Planting Scheme
As for all elements of your scheme you should consider planning your planting scheme on paper first. Your local weather and soil conditions will dictate what species are most likely to thrive in your garden. Bear in mind factors such as sun exposure and water drainage, and chose plants that not only fit in your scheme but also work well with each other.

Calling For Reinforcements
It is important that you get the proper support to achieve the results you planned for. This is particularly important if your project is on a grand scale, so the work gets done in a timely fashion. Also think about getting some help in if you need to do some heavy lifting or clear a large area!

By spending a bit of time and creative juices planning your new garden scheme, getting the right tools for the job and calling for help when needed you should be able to add value to your property and end up with a stunning new garden, yours to enjoy for many years.

Hello! I’m an 18 year old college student. This summer, I want to have some kind of summer job that pertains to the government in some way. What kind of job could I get for the government that would require little experience and only requires 18+ and would be suitable for a summer job? Thanks!

All government agencies in almost every state have a hiring freeze in effect. Unless you have a relative that can get you in the door you are out of luck. If you have not put applications in for summer job then you are going to have a tough time. Most college kids put applications in over spring break.
