2009 Summer Jobs

by Amanda Messier on 30/04/09 at 3:56 pm

The semester is coming to a close; what will you be doing this summer?  If making money is what is on your agenda, there are many ways to go about doing it.  Signing on to www.ecsujobs.org is a great way to start.

Right away you will see recent jobs posted in various fields.  For example, currently there is a job opening for a summer camp counselor for New Pond Farm.

Not only will you be making some cash during this eight week period, but it looks great on a resume if you plan to work with children in the future!

Maybe you are in the process of getting a communication degree.  In that case, check out the position for an advertising coordinator.  This could be your chance to enhance your skills in advertising campaigns.  Your college experience is what this company is looking for.

If you are looking for a part or full-time job in Willimantic, there are a number of stores hiring right now.  JCPenney is looking for a salon stylist, hourly sales support, and hourly sales team.  They are not the only ones in the area hiring though.  Kohl’s is looking for a replenishment-merchandising associate and beauty sales associate.

One of the advantages of being a college student is that we get out of school for the summer earlier than high school students.  This means that we have the opportunity to start summer work earlier than they do.  Eastern students also have the advantage of having The Office of Career Services open all summer, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Of course whether Career  Services is open or closed, there is always eRecruiting.  From the Career Services website, click the link for eRecruiting to start your search.  There is a variety of jobs posted from bookkeeper to web developer to police officer.  Of course if you were looking for a job that is perhaps a bit more fun, try Mystic Seaport!

Your experience does not have to stop and begin with the school year.  Apply for a summer job and make some money this summer while enhancing your resume.
