Summertime brings thoughts of lazy days in hammocks, a glass of cool lemonade (pink lemonade at our house) and a vacation or two. But for some adults, summertime can also be the perfect time to supplement their income or parlay their way into a new career!
With summer jobs more plentiful than they have been in the past few years, an increasing number of adults and retirees have begun working during the 'off season'. As experience has become even more important to hiring managers and corporations, that may not have training budgets or time to train, adult workers are a great resource for seasonal help.
For those adults looking to keep busy, do something different, or earn a little extra cash at a second job, a summer job may just be the answer. Of course, summer jobs are an American staple for many teenagers and recent grads, so make sure to pass the information along!
