In response to Meghan Hardy's Summer Job...


If you've been looking for a job, have you noticed how hard it is to find one?

Granted the job market for college students may not be as good with the economy in a current recession but if someone has a good resume and work expierence they are more likely to find a job. For example I have been a waitress for six years and have a very good resume and work record always leaving a job on good terms. Three of the six years I've worked as a waitress three of them had been at one company which looks good on a resume. With my three years at Friendly's I have been a host, waitress, a cook, and fountain. For the other three years I have also been a waitress, a cook, cash handling, etc. In light of all of these things if someone is willing to try hard, works rigourously to find the job, has a previously good working record, they should not have trouble finding a job. Finding a summer job boils down to being a good worker, having a good resume, and working hard to find a job. I don't think worrying or complaining this will be very productive but looking for a job and being attentive to that is alot better. I feel when looking for a job we are in control of it.
