Land Your Dream Job This Summer!

  • Find a job this summer! Step one: Ready your resume
Big career dreams? Use this summer to get your perf headstart. Whether you’re looking to be an actress, scientist or just want to have fun, GL’s got three things to try that will help you explore what you want to do.

Volunteering

Help others and build leadership skills. From running a summer camp to working at a local soup kitchen, giving others a hand can help you out too.

Try to volunteer at places that focus on things you’re interested in: a dance summer camp if you like performing, a library if you just love books, and so on. Be sure to ask any questions you have while working, these people have made a living doing the things you’re interested in. They can def give you ideas on what kind of job opportunities you’ll have someday and better yet, how to improve your craft.

P.S. Volunteering also gives you a li’l work experience so that you can pad up your resume!

Job Shadowing
Get a behind-the-scenes look at what truly goes on at your dream job. Ask a parent, relative or close neighbor who works in a field of your interest and if you cand “shadow” them for a day on the job.

Use your big day to learn about the kind of things they do, meet the people they work with and ask lots of questions. The big plus? You get to bond with that special someone too! So talk to your parents about going into work with them; some schools even excuse the absence if your parents send a note in explaining your motives.

Camp Exploration
Join different camps and activities this summer in areas you’re curious about. Like singing? Do a music camp. Way into science? Find a space camp or one that focuses on biology or chemistry experiments! By exploring your interests, not only will you have a lot of fun, meet new people who like the same things as you do and get to learn new skills, but you may find something you’d love to have a job in someday.

While college and work are years down the road, the biggest career stars are the ones who find what they truly love doing and pursue it—and there’s no better time to start than now!

MOD! idk how long i should bike each day...i just got a bike like last week so im thinking about losing some theigh and lower stomach fat. how long should i bike then?? THZX

 

Hey girl!  It really just depends what you like and what you have time for - even 15 minutes of biking is a great start!  Just get started and enjoy the ride.

MODMODMODMMODMODMDODMOM!!! okay so i like this boy. and i think he likes me! he flirts and always tries to make me laugh. also he's really sweet! the only thing is my friend told me that she likes him. i just broke up with my boyfriend but i liked him i didnt want to tell anyone because i didnt want my EX to find out that i moved on so quickly. but my friend told me that she liked him. but i didnt tell her that i liked anyone.. what should i do? should i keep him or should i wait?

 

Hey girl, I would definitely talk to your bud.  It might feel difficult since she told you she likes him, but it's probably best to let her know you like him.  That way you guys can talk it over, and figure out how to handle it before anything moves forward.  xoxo

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey I need some advice! I wanna be a teacher wen im older but right now im sooooo anxious to just go to college and start learning about the things I care about! i excel in school and am a straight A student, I already fell in love with a few colleges and sometimes I even look at the questions they ask you on a college resume and answer them for fun! But this is killing me and I wanna way to start teaching! Even if its a corny little job! Help!
than you




Wow!  It's so awesome that you're so passionate about teaching already.  It sounds like you really love kids, so maybe you can babysit or work or volunteer at a camp or daycare.  Teaching won't be the main thing you do, but anything can be educational, and they'll still be a lot of fun!
