But what kinds of jobs are being there for teens? If you are a natural leader, a summer job as a camp counsellor would allow you to work with younger kids and could help them to develop. You can pick up many lots of life skills like talk communication. Another cool summer job is working in retail. You could work in a store doing selling to customers, filling up shelves, demonstrating products or handing out free samples. This is great if you are trying a sociable person. You talk also to customers and work as part of a team. Sometimes stores will give up a discount for staff. Great if your job is in your best favourite clothing or games store! Young people can also be employed as waiters or waitresses. Many restaurants let their staff earn no tips, which will give you extra above money on top of your normal wages. However, be aware that waiting on people can be much tiring, and you must never be sociable and polite at all times. any (0) (00) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) Paired activity: The English assistant at your school wants to know what kinds of summer jobs are most attractive for you and your classmates.
