Summer Jobs

Applying to College

<p>I've had some summer jobs, including working as a secretary for a business that had just started then, tutoring various elementary/jr high students in areas from math to writing, and teaching a computer graphics class to elementary/jr high students. (: The pay was good too.</p>

<p>The thing is, all these jobs were about two to three months long (July, August, September). :\ I heard that colleges don't like it when you "job-hop," can't keep the same job for long, or do too many various jobs...</p>

<p>So would it be okay for me to list these jobs in the space provided, or would it simply be better if I don't mention these summer jobs?</p>

<p>don't like it when you switch jobs.........what? Who told you this kernal of truth?</p>

<p>:\ I think it was just something I picked up as I was browsing through threads some lonely Saturday afternoon.</p>

<p>Your jobs sound fine to me.......don't worry about it. You surely took the best opportunities offered at the time and you should be proud of what you did....tell the truth. I am sure you learned something from every experience you had.</p>

<p>These are summer jobs and expected to end when summer ends. You aren't expected to do the same job the next year. I can't fathom that you think it would be preferable to list nothing for the summer. Don't try to play games. Just give them the straight dope, straight up.</p>

lol. yeah true, don't worry about job-hopping. there's nothing wrong with that at all. you're probably apprehensive that they might see you as someone indecisive and cannot stick to a work for a long time. there's no documented truth in that.</p>

<p>i think working for a summer is a good length they dont want people like working for 2 weeks and then quiting a summer is a long commitment and u cant be expected to continue with the same job for all ur highschool years</p>
