Sinclair Community College\u2019s summer semester is underway and with students either taking no classes during the summer or taking on a lighter load this semester, seasonal summer jobs are an option.<\/p>\n
Matt Massie, manager of Career Services, gave some tips on getting hired for a seasonal job.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe proactive, network \u2014 use your family, your friends, your neighbors. Talk to people. You\u2019ll find more opportunities that way than just searching online,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n
He said to be open to the different types of jobs available.<\/p>\n
\u201cToo often, students get in mind that they want to do a certain type of job and they want to work specific hours, and they don\u2019t want to do this and they don\u2019t want to do that. Every ‘don\u2019t’ they add lessens the opportunities that are available,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n
In addition, he said summer employment should be used as a building block for another opportunity. However, Massie said mass hiring for summer jobs has already taken place.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of the summer mass hiring has already been done\u2026when you really think of mass hiring, that\u2019s done prior to the summer season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not to be discouraging. There are still summer jobs out there\u2026if students fell a little short this year, they need to keep that in mind for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seasonal jobs are not just for summer. They can also be found around the holidays.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeasonal employment isn\u2019t just summer employment; a lot of people have that misconception\u2026 you also see peaks around the holidays and things like that for other types of seasonal employment,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n
He said hiring for the holiday seasonal time takes place in early September and October.<\/p>\n
If a student is seeking a non-seasonal job, they can use Career Services to find regular employment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have hundreds of jobs posted with us every month. Students can use us for finding employment for what they are going to school for, but they can also use us for finding employment for general types of jobs to be able to pay the bills,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n
Career Services is also available to graduates, the services they offer are lifetime.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as our doors are open, we\u2019ll be here to serve students and graduates,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n
The Career Services office is located in Building 10, Room 312. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
