The summer is right around the corner and with that comes seasonal summer work. You might be wondering if now the time for you is to take a seasonal job. There are pros and cons to both, and all should be considered before you start applying. 

Most summer work is filled by students both high school and college students. Taking a seasonal job is a great way to get job experience and it is great for your resume or college application depending on what kind of job you get. 

While your schedule might be less than a full-time position. Your summer days of frolicking in the sun are going to be limited. Often these jobs are also on call meaning even if you are not on the schedule to work you will most likely be on call. 

Because this is temporary work, there may not be a lot of training. You will be expected to jump in and learn on the fly. So, make sure you are paying attention so you don’t miss anything. 

Seasonal jobs are usually minimum wage and there is rarely any benefits. If you are in need of benefits this is probably not going to be a good choice for you. Make sure you are clear of the pay and if there are any benefits before accepting the position.
