The 'Ten Commandments' in the summer job search
As competition is a key feature in the job search process this year, must look for a good strategy to stand out from the other candidates and among the avalanche of resumes that are likely to reach to the mailboxes of companies. To this end, Randstad has developed a decalogue of advice provided key clues to sharpen the wit and highlight the strengths of each professional.
Thus, for example, recommends not sending the same curriculum throughout the year as summer jobs are characterized by seasonality. It is best therefore redrafted and focus on jobs in demand.
also advised not find jobs exclusively for financial remuneration, as it recalls a summer job can then serve as experience in their career.
In fact, another recommendation is to choose the position in terms of preferences. That is, those who prefer a tourist can always find a job in hospitality jobs, those that want to gain experience can always turn to the replacement of workers in administrative or receptionist, for example, or even if you are looking for a as related to sports activity is important to know monitor supply stations, leisure and lifeguard.
Another aspect to consider is that many jobs in this time of summer is not particularly noted for its fixed schedule, but rather the opposite. As a candidate who has flexible hours and can accommodate split shifts, multiple shifts or scheduling changes probably have more ballots for the post.
And, as time availability, requires a proactive and dynamic in the selection tests, for many summer jobs are characterized by the intense pace of work. It is also very valuable quick adaptation to the post, they are short-term jobs, and a customer-oriented jobs to be clearly linked to the general public.
If the candidate is also versatile, ie can do as well in administrative, animator or telemarketer, the more points added to his candidacy, it is very normal also in the summer that companies require replacement profiles , possible casualties or reinforcements of staff to a temporary increase in demand.
Also, languages \u200b\u200bare a plus in finding work because a large number of summer jobs are related to the tourism sector. It is therefore important to emphasize in the curriculum.
And the last tip is to start as soon as the job search for other potential candidates ahead and arrive on time for business deals throwing from May to September.
Given these guidelines, the candidate is ready to get down to work in search of employment.
Job Opportunities for all audiences

UGT Recent data confirm this: some 200,000 people find employment in hospitality and tourism this summer, although this figure represents 10% fewer contracts than last year.
And, although they continue to create jobs in the hospitality industry, this summer will be one of the most affected by the crisis. Managers in this sector have been cautious and this time the economic crisis has caught them by surprise, so that months ago have launched initiatives to avoid reinforcing their staff when they know for sure how their business will fluctuate in the coming months. One of the measures taken by some hotels are closed in low season to give his personal vacation and so to have him available during the summer. In this way, you save the temporary substitution holiday.
