Recruitment Agencies: A few years ago a survey showed that the UK has the largest temporary workforce in the whole of Europe. Over 1 million people work for recruitment agencies, providing short or longer term cover in a huge range of industries. With this figure steadily increasing, there are always summer jobs working for an agency. The great thing about agency work is that availability is high in peak holiday seasons - including the Summer. Many full-time workers are keen to take time off during the Summer period, leaving offices and other businesses understaffed and in need of staff cover. Find recruitment agencies in your area here. Telesales: If you need some money, have a good manner, then this could be the way to build up your bank balance fast. Call centres are everywhere these days, whether it be customer service support or active selling. Although the work may be quite pressured (you may well be monitored), the rewards can be good, with high basic rates and in some sectors, very good commission. Summer jobs like telesales, or call centre work have high turnover rates so are fairly readily available. The hours are also not as constricted as normal shop hours, with many call centres open 24hours a day. Don't forget, night work is usually much better pay than day work! If you are looking on your summer job as a means to an end - we suggest you do some more research into this option. Retail Opportunities: More and more shops exist these days - and more and more staff are needed to keep them running. In the Summer, people shop more, staff go on holiday more, and so they recruit more! As Summer jobs go, working in a shop is a great way of earning money, knowing what hours you are expected to do, and build up experience. If you add to this the latest trend of extended hours shopping, even 24 hour shopping in some supermarkets, then you can see why they require extra staff. Summer jobs can also be found in out of town stores, and retail parks, which have more trouble recruiting people due to their location. If you are looking for a full time summer job then showing a commitment to the company over a longer period of time may well help secure the job. Many students start working part time in shops and other businesses and find that they can progress to full time, and return in the holidays. Once you have been trained and are competent many companies will look to keep you and use the skills that you have acquired - even if it means you only working a few months every summer during your holidays. Find retail jobs in your area here. Factory Work: This may not be a favourite, but with work readily available, it provides lots of summer job opportunities. Much of the work is unskilled and requires little or no previous experience. The pay can vary tremendously, as can the hours available. One of the best places to find factory work opportunities is your local paper, or alternatively, your local recruitment agency! Find summer jobs in your area here.
