If you can work later on during the holidays, mention it. Often employers are eager to find summer help who can return to work during the busy holiday season. After the interview, consider writing a thank-you note to the person who interviewed you. That's a follow-up opportunity that very few students take the time to do, but a simple handwritten note may help make a strong impression about your character. It conveys the message that you are genuinely eager and capable.
Employers hope to hire good summer employees as early in the season as possible.
Although some summer jobs will be available later in the season, the best choices are available right now, so get your resume ready, make some appointments and do some research. Then go out and land the perfect summer job. Suzanne Schabacker is a sophomore at the N.C. School of the Arts. Use of this Web site is subject to certain Terms and Conditions .
