It was only a couple of summers ago that Johnson landed a job at Quarry Lake as a lifeguard. You need to be sure of yourself and have a friendly attitude. You have to be outgoing, especially if you are working with other people. That's the key. You can have all sorts of qualifications, but if you don't have any public relations skills, chances are you won't get the job.
Money is always the reward for getting summer work, but there are other aspects to consider too.
I did it to pick up some experience. I out-grew my own shyness and I experienced different things and learned from those experiences. Johnson says Grade 9 is probably too early in a person's life to be looking for summer work. Grade 10 is a better time to start looking for a summer job. Education should still be your top priority.
