Find the Perfect Summer Job

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Now that summer break is right around the corner, there will be many job openings for students. Looking for a job or internship can be stressful, and with only three months of summer it’s important to seize every opportunity to find something you love that also pays well in order to start the new school year with a full bank account. These websites are very helpful in finding jobs, specifically for college students, to ensure your summer is fulfilled! Of course, don’t forget to soak up the sun and everything else blissful about summer before class start again.

Indeed.com
This search-engine style website has recently surpassed Monster.com as the most popular career finding website! Indeed is easy to navigate and gives specific results to what kind of job you are looking for. Find anything from part time to full time to internships based on your location and description of what type of job you are looking for. Big companies like Pepsi and Kraft often post job listings and internships for college students, which are great opportunities and could turn into long term careers in the future!

 
Uiccareers.com
The UIC Careers website offers many different options to cater to every type of student. You can find regular student employment, jobs with Federal Work Study, and Part time jobs around campus, internships, and even careers if you are a recent graduate. The student employment office located in SSB also offers walk in appointments to help you find jobs as well as revise your resume to fit the specific job you have mind. With thousands of job openings listed and regularly updated, this website will be a perfect tool to help you find the perfect job for you! Another plus is that more jobs open during the summer because many students are on federal work study.
