    This article is saying that summer is a great time to get a job. There are a lot of openings and its best to go to obvious summer places. Also to ensure you get the job, they say to add in things like being a team captain or club leader on your resume or application to make it look better. Scehdule is a major thing too. Some places want to hire people who will work summer and still take hours after school starts.

    This articel was basically telling you thats its important to get a summer job. This shows that you have leadership qualities in you.It also sayd that when you apply to show what leadership skill you have. For exapmle if you are the captian of your soccer team.

    I agree with this article. Summer is the best time to get a job, but it is actually the hardest time to get a job. I think no matter what time of the year you get a job, leadership qualities should always be present. I found that fall is the easiest time to get a job because most college students leave at that time and more spots open up.

    i agree so much with this article. Because during the summer us students need something to keep us busy. Becuase most kids that dont have a job usually get into trouble alot due to the fact that they are not being occupied by work. Also it opens up doors to bigger and better things in life

    In this article, it tells how the summer is the best time to get a job. Which is a good thing seeing as though many people want jobs for the summer. It also basically tells about how you should include leadership positions that you may have had before like a team captain to enhance your application.

    I like the article.=] Summer is the best time to get a job, but it is actually the hardest time to get a job. I think when ever you go to get a job leadership qualities should be present.This article is very helpful when going to get a job. It has alot of information!

    This article is about colleges getting more strict with their requirements. I dont think that they should raise the test scores & GPAs in order to get into the school because alot of people really desire to get onto college and it is already hard enough as it is. I think that by raising the requirements they6 would be killing the dreams of alot of people and the amount of people going into college will decrease greatly and then society will have less amounts of educated people.

    this articl implys that kids should have a summer job to keep them selves like in busy and taking charge and stuff i dont recommend flipping burgers even though i work in a burger place but i dont cook them!!! soo yea!

    Sorry Ms. Santiago I messed up like the UGLY TWIN WIEHTANIA, her stupidness spread on to me, I am going to stop being her friend.
    Summer is the best time to get a job. You dont have any school to worry about and plan times around. This article told us about jobs. It also tells about being a leader because it helps when it comes to applying for a job.

    This is basically saying that is good to get a summer job. Doing this will help you show that you have leadership skills. It says that there are other options then flipping burgers. Also, putting that you have a leadership position outside of the job will help you get one

  16. 16    W.M. September 22, 2008 at 12:15 pm

    Summer is the best time to look for a job, it shows that you have discipline and commitment to one specific thing. This reflects in school as a leadership trait, colleges look for all these qualities.

    The article speaks about how getting summer jobs are now helping people get better leadership qualities int thier work style. these kids give up a big part of thier summer to just go to work and get paid minimum wage.

  19. 19    AF September 24, 2008 at 12:49 pm

    i like this artilce a lot because ity talks about how there other jobs you can get that dont have to be working in the food industry. i like that it also talks about the fact that getting summer jobs can help you to develop better leadership skills.

  20. 20    XiXi October 1, 2008 at 11:47 am

    I enjoyed this article because it explains that there are far too many jobs available in this world than just working with food. In order to get jobs you need leadership qualities. It also advises you to add information in which you were a leader. for example, Cheerleading Captain, Dance Captain, Club Captain, etc.

    This article saids that it is really good to get a summer job. But as someone who tried to get one, it is the hardest time to apply for a job because all the spots are filled! but if you have leadership skills it will probably be a better chance for you to get the job.

  22. 22    Y.S October 1, 2008 at 12:36 pm

    This article was pretty good.It says that summertime is a great time to look for jobs. Its true that to get a good job you havve to have good leadership qualities. It stresses the importance of scheduling and applications. It said getting a summer job will help you improve your leadership qualities.

  23. 23    F.F. October 1, 2008 at 8:45 pm

    This article reminded me when I first got a job over a year ago. During my interview I made sure to throw in that the only reason I’d have a scheduling difficulty is if I was doing a school event since I was an active member of Student Government and Class Vice President. I smile emerged from the Manager and I pretty much hit the home run! (lOl) so yeah, it’s true it does help to have worthy qualities that shows you’re a dependable, smart person =)

    In this aricle, it explains how its good for teens to apply for jobs during the summer. Also that summer is when the job hiring is best. Tourism and attractions pay well and enteratin you. To put on your resume that your were or are a leader gives you a higher boast then other sometime.

  25. 25    BF October 3, 2008 at 11:28 am

    This article is about ways and how to get a job. It tells you what to do and not to do. I think i should probably start looking for a job and using some of these pointers.

  26. 26    TD October 3, 2008 at 11:30 am

    this article is about getting a summer job. I was looking for jobs over the summer but i want to work with animals so i apply at pet shops and vets offices. trying to get a summer job is harder than usual because most of the sopts are already taken. so when applying over the summer you have to have a really good resume.

  27. 27    W.Weezy October 3, 2008 at 11:31 am

    This artical was about students and there jobs, and the qualities of a summer jobs and there importance. That even though its good to have a summer job its probably not the easiest time to get a job. for example I had a job right before summer ended, and then i quit. After summer started i remember going out and applying for numorous job and no one was hiring.

  28. 28    Wifey October 3, 2008 at 8:55 pm

    Getting a job over the summer is important, because during the school year it’s more important to work on classes. Also, many businesses like to see leadership qualities because they show the most initiative & productivity. But it’s important to apply quick because during summer positions fill up quick! :)
