By Reya Burnett Hugo High School Student Reporter April is here and May is not too far off. This means that summer break is almost here. Many teens are planing on looking for summer jobs this year. Well, there is no better time to look than now. I understand that there are still many days left in the school year, but we’ve just started taking our End of Instruction tests. Sometimes the evaluation and hiring process is slow and long. For some jobs, it would take the whole break for a call back. After a short interview with 20 hard-working students, 50% said that it took three months for their employers to call and actually hire them, another 40% said that it took two months and a mere 10% of students said that they got hired in the first month. Chances are that it would take a student two to three months to acquire employment at an established business. On the other hand, students could also become their own businessmen. Students could break agardens in for homes, babysit or even starch and press suits for businessmen when the cleaners fall short. Students should start thinking about what they plan to do this summer. A little extra cash couldn’t hurt. So apply now for the job, that way you might have a job for the summer instead of waiting until the next school year to actually get hired. |
