Summer Job
The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year,students begin their search for jobs during vacation
( June,
July,
and August).
Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities durlng the summer, and ask friends and relarives to be on the lookout for jobs for them. By June the students have usually
solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.
Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.
Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter
these are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months. But many young people find work that is a little more unusual.
暑期打工
暑假期间打工是美国大学生的一种传统。在学年结束很早以前。学生们就开始寻找假期中(六月、七月、和八月)的工作了。学生们寄信给一些公司，向老板询问暑期工作的机会。或是让亲戚、朋友帮忙打探有没有合适他们的工作。到了六月，这个问题通常已经落实，学生们也要准备着离开书本．进入工作的世界了。
学生想要暑期打工的原因各不相同。有些人为了筹集学费而工作．一些人打工是为自己选择的职业积累经验，还有些人打工仅仅是因为觉得好玩而已。
打字员、建筑工人、推销员、救生员、服务生
这些都是学生在暑假几个月中通常选择的工作。
当然，也有很多年轻人能够找到特别一些的工作。
