Which are summer jobs?

Summer vacation is coming. If you have a fifteen or sixteen-year-old adolescent child at home, how should you help them spend the long days of seven or eight weeks? Going on vacation can only last for two or three weeks at most. Well, what will happen when they come back? Do you want to send them to some kind of rocket class or some other place to speed up? That will definitely not work abroad, unless the child himself is addicted to learning. Then join the summer camp, but fifteen or sixteen Years old is an embarrassing age - unless it is a professional Science Camp or Music Camp, most summer camps are for children under the age of twelve who cannot stay at home alone. In places like this, brothers and sisters who are fifteen or sixteen years old can almost become teachers of small children!

Fortunately, when parents are troubled, society provides our children with "much promising" opportunities. Broad World: "Summer student job" for children over fourteen years old - student summer job is the best gift given to children by the government, companies and even community organizations, and has become one of the hottest topics in the summer city. . Parents unanimously believe that pushing growing high school students into the melting pot of society is the best way to temper their will, burn their energy and mature their minds.

When it comes to summer jobs, you can’t Not to mention the government’s advocacy. The three levels of government in Canada not only open some internal positions to summer students, but also allocate funds to various non-profit organizations to open summer jobs. Some opposition parties once bombarded the government, saying that the money should be spent on Save the current depressed job market rather than spending on less important summer jobs for students, but the government firmly believes that "nurturing future leaders" is our responsibility as a society, and funding summer jobs is a good use of taxpayers' money. This is the "smartest" place. I agree with this. In fact, isn't it the same concept as "you will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans"? How will children who have not been trained and trained work hard in the workplace in the future?

So where can I find summer jobs? Careful parents will definitely notice that shortly after the beginning of spring every year, the government and various companies and institutions start recruiting summer jobs. Go online and google the term "summer student job", and you will definitely find it. There will be thousands of messages that will make you dizzy. There are two types of summer jobs: paid job (paid job) and volunteer job (volunteer). Don’t underestimate volunteers. When students apply for jobs, the emphasis is on practice, and money is an extra gain. So there are all kinds of jobs. Volunteer opportunities are also a goal that many students are striving for, and your children will definitely find their own place somewhere at some time.

Take the City of Toronto as an example. The City of The deadline for recruiting summer jobs in Toronto is the same every year, February 14th, which is earlier than the provincial and federal ones. The city’s summer jobs mainly include lifeguards at community swimming pools, cleaners at parks ( Cleaner), as well as various summer camp counselors (Camp Counselor), etc. The recruitment period of the Government Ontario is later, and it is still open to recruit people until the beginning of May. The "grade" of the job type is slightly higher. Including administrative assistants in various provincial government departments such as the Department of Transportation, Department of Education, Legislative Council and other offices - to distinguish them from the provincial government's general external recruitment, those positions will be specifically marked "summer student". The positions of the federal government (Government Canada) are even more "top-notch". Many of them are created for outstanding middle school students or college students, such as the student guides (Parks Canada) opened by the National Park Service under the Ministry of Environment. Student Video Reporters), or student ambassadors for certain international activities under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Stud

ent Ambassadors), etc.

In addition to the government, major companies and organizations also have many summer job opportunities, with different age requirements. Not to mention places like McDonald's and KFC that need manpower all year round. The famous Ontario Place has nearly 500 paid jobs for high school and college students every year, and summer vacation is the busiest season for the playground. Another example is the Royal Ontario Museum. , the Ontario Science Center (Ontario Science Centre), Tourism Ontario and other non-profit organizations regularly recruit a large number of student volunteers every summer vacation - students not only receive valuable training opportunities, but also practice their skills and Communication and leadership skills. In addition, the provincial government also launched the "Summer Company" program to encourage students to use their summer vacation to start their own businesses, and provide subsidies of up to 3,000 yuan - but that is for "Old" students who have walked out of school and want to start their own business and plan to return to school for further study. In short, as long as you are willing, there will definitely be an opportunity waiting for you that meets your expectations.

In addition to searching for jobs on the Internet, In addition to information, personal relationships are also a very important part. Not to mention that Western society does not pay attention to human relationships and interpersonal relationships. In fact, it is just a cultural difference. For example, many companies launch summer job positions first on the company's internal website. Of course, employees First-come-first-served basis; there may be some "smaller" positions, where HR (Human Resources Department) only sends a mass email, and even access to the intranet is not required. Children of employees who are both students are considered "reference" ", which is what we call "knowing the basics" in Chinese, will naturally have some advantages. Therefore, the company or institution where the parents or parents' friends work is often the cornerstone for children to enter the workplace. There are two colleagues in my company. The child started working at a summer job and was recruited "naturally" after graduating from college. The family doctor who treated us brought his eleventh-grade son to the clinic to "work" during the summer vacation. It was said that he wanted to It is up to the son to decide for himself whether he will go into medicine in the future.

My son plans to find a summer job this year. I have been busy for several weeks after sending out my resume and waiting for the interview, and I am preparing to accept his favorite job at the Ontario Science Museum. He was a summer camp volunteer, but just a week before he started training, another paid job opportunity fell from the sky - that is, a summer camp counselor under his father's company. The same job type, one paid and one volunteer, what's the difference? ? Haha, being able to make money independently is still very tempting for a sixteen-year-old boy, and his dad has repeatedly emphasized: It's a real job! Not just fun! (That's a job! Not just fun! It’s fun!) Indeed, compared to volunteering, which focuses on participation, a paid position is much more formal and has a much stronger sense of responsibility. Finally, he finalized the real job and started working on July 5th!

Recently, I have heard about various types of summer jobs. For example, a neighbor’s boy took a bus to a Buddhist temple in a small town to work as a volunteer tour guide, receiving believers from all walks of life (he himself is not a Buddhist); a colleague’s Because my daughter is under fifteen years old, she can only work as a cleaner at the playground, but she is happy and contented with her job; a friend's son is introverted, but he has already started learning to play the piano, so he recruits "little" apprentices at home during the summer vacation. It's really It can be said that there is a sense of satisfaction in being independent...

It seems that the child is really trained - you give him a stage, he will jump up and fly, otherwise, it will be difficult for him I know that I am so talented in acting! Summer job makes children grow faster, makes parents more happy, and fills the society with expectations.
