Summer Traditional – These are generally jobs that pay you on a per hour basis over the coming summer. Jobs in this category, generally speaking, start when the local public-school systems end the school year (usually mid to late June) though employers may need to train you for one or two weeks before the “summer” begins. A textbook example of such a job on Hire a Student would be a summer camp counselor. More sophisticated employers also hire students over the summer to cover for their customary full-time employees who, generally speaking, take their vacations over the months of June, July & August.
