As soon as you reach the age of 15, you have been the permission to work in your holidays. Going to a work means taking on new responsibilities, following orders and also getting on up early, which does not always appeal to young people. However, summer jobs have attractive benefits. After learning about the following reasons for getting yourself to a job, we are sure you will want to go out and find one. Summer jobs are not a great opportunity to get to know various work fields. Acquiring useful type skills and gaining knowledge about all sorts of processes is only one of many advantages. If you realise that the line of work you have chosen is not the right side one for you, just remember that the time you spend at a summer job is limited. Finding it out about your likes and dislikes will help you plan your future. In addition to the work experience, you also get the chance to work out on your self-confidence and feel good about yourself. Of course, you could have spend your holidays sitting on the couch at home, playing computer games or watching the TV all day long, but this will not get you anywhere. So write your application, go to the interview, get by the job and set up your alarm: It’s time to leave for work and conquer the world. been (0) (00) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
