How to Get a Summer Job

Apply Online or via Email for Summer Jobs

In many cases, you'll be able to apply for summer jobs online. Depending on the job and the organization you are applying to, you may need a resume, and possibly a cover letter, or you may simply have to fill out an online job application.

For some organizations you may need to apply directly online via an applicant tracking system. In other cases, you'll be asked to email your resume and cover letter to apply for the summer job.

Either way, it's important to follow the instructions when applying for jobs online or via email. You may need to fill out a profile, upload or email your resume and cover letter, and take an employment test, as part of the online application process.
