<p>So, I'll be in Europe from late June to the middlish endish of July. But I want a job so I can start buying things for myself instead of relying on my parents money, learn what's it's like to work in a real work setting, etc. But I'm unsure of which jobs I could apply to... with a recession and a kid who wants to get three weeks leave is not an ideal situation.</p>
<p>Possible jobs I could see myself working at to start things off would be your typical restaurant, basic stores (AKA Best Buy, Walmart, Target,) etc.</p>
<p>But what kind of jobs are realistic for me to obtain with this gap in the middle of my summer? Or do you think it wouldn't matter?</p>
<p>If you are looking for just a summer job while you will be leaving fr 3 months, forget it.</p>
<p>No reasonable employee is gonna invest the time and effort into you for 2 weeks, just to have you go on vacation and forget it all, to have to retrain you for maybe 3 weeks of viable work.</p>
<p>Chill with that negativity, apply for jobs now, and dont tell them your leaving untill 2 weeks before (after they train you). Say your Grandmother in Europe has a terminal illness. Anyone with a conscience couldnt get mad at you</p>
<p>I’m looking for the same thing since I will have like one month free until school. The one job I applied for, the person really liked my resume and she said she will consider hiring me although i will be gone for a month. However, she said that she didn’t want to hire me because she would have to find another person to take over my spot when I’m gone.</p>
<p>So yea, I think it’ll be really hard trying to get a job now. I’m just going to wait until I come back and then look for a part time job. Hopefully I will get one. I’m thinking about working part time at a clothing store, but I’ll see. You can always use craigslist, and i think that those places you mentioned might hire you parttime.</p>
