10 Wrong Assumptions Young People Make When Looking For A Summer Job

10 Things You Get Wrong About Summer Jobs

Finding a summer job can be tough, especially with summer rapidly approaching.

But we have some advice to help you out, courtesy of career coach Suzanne Kleinberg, founder of Potential to Soar, a coaching service for new graduates. Kleinberg is also the author of the new book From Playstation to Workstation: A Career Guide for Generation Text Surviving in a Baby Boomer World.

Kleinberg recommends young people start looking early on for a summer job, meaning it's probably a bad idea to try to get one the weekend before the 4th of July. Also, don't assume that flipping burgers is necessarily a bad thing or that volunteer work doesn't count -- it's all real world experience that'll help you further down the road and keep you from occupying mom and dad's couch.
