Hi Mark. Uh, it’s great that you’re looking for a summer job. Um, I have few key insights which could help you while you’re searching for a job. And the first one is the type of job you’re looking for. Is it um a office based job you’re looking for or a job which you want to work physically? And the second thing is uh uh, how much pay you’re expecting? Are you expecting uh, to much of pay, uh let’s say $20 per hour or you’re expecting an average pay, uh that’s around $15 per hour. Uh, you will definitely find uh, many jobs, uh if you’re looking for $15 per hour. But if you are looking for $20 20 /hour it might take some time to find a job. And the third thing is what you’re looking for. Which uh which location you’re looking for. Are you looking to work in the downtown area? Do you want to go out of the city like going to server anding there? Ah uh generally the warehouses are located at the suburbs. In the suburbs where as the restaurants and uh universities, um and uh uh dollar stores are located within the downtown area. So choose your location as you want. And the fourth thing is resources which are really important. So go through the website such as Linkin Ind and local job uh, postings. Uh, and also go in person to the restaurants and hand over the resume so that they will call you back. So try to um, be dynamic. Try to be dynamic and try to get the things rolling faster. This way you could find a job. In my situation I did the same. I used to at least handover around ten to 20 resumes throughout the shops around in downtown. Uh, within 15 days I was able to find a job which is really interesting and, and allowed it. Um, the uh shop owner is still in touch with me. Um, so I would suggest you to be dynamic and um, try to find the job as soon as possible. All the very best. Please let me know if you have any questions. I there always to help.

Hey Mark, it's great you're looking for a summer job! I have a few key things to consider that might help you in your search. First, what kind of job are you looking for? Are you interested in an office-based position or something more physical? Second, what's your salary expectation? Are you hoping for a higher wage, say around $20 per hour, or are you open to a more average rate, like $15 per hour? You'll definitely find more options if you're flexible on pay. Third, where are you looking to work? Do you want to stay in the downtown area, or are you open to working in the suburbs? Warehouses are usually located in the suburbs, while restaurants, universities, and dollar stores are more common downtown. Choose a location that works best for you. Finally, resources are crucial. Check out websites like LinkedIn and local job postings. Don't be afraid to go in person to restaurants and hand-deliver your resume. This shows initiative and can increase your chances of getting a call back. Be proactive and get the ball rolling! In my experience, I handed out around 10 to 20 resumes to shops downtown. Within 15 days, I found a really interesting job that I loved. The shop owner is still in touch with me. So, be dynamic, get out there, and you'll find something great! Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions. I'm always here to help.
