Unadvertised Summer Vacancies

Many summer jobs are never advertised, so it's up to you to go out there and find them! Here's how:

• Tell everyone that you're looking for work - relatives, neighbours, friends of the family - they may have contacts who could offer a job.
• Follow up on contacts that anyone gives you. Contact companies early - don't leave it till June.
• Consider small and medium sized employers not just the large employers/multinationals
• Contact or call into specific companies that you would be interested in working for. Make a phone call to find out whether they have any summer work available.
• Have your CV ready and up-to-date.

Also did you know you have rights as an employee? It is important that you make yourself aware of your rights & entitlements and exercise those rights.
