【推荐3】If watching kids isn’t quite the part-time job you’d want to keep yourself busy with during the summer holidays, then here are some of the coolest jobs for teens.

Though it’s kind of a babysitting job, it’s much more fun as it exposes you to many skills such as team working and many other activities. Another advantage of this kind of job is that you are more likely to make new friends as you will be working with a number of people.

This will not be a job for anyone as it is quite demanding when you’re really needed. Under calm conditions, the job involves sitting by the poolside as you watch over swimmers and helping them in case of emergencies. For life guard tasks, special training and certifications are required.

For animal lovers, you have not been left out. This job involves taking care of dogs and walking them. Fun as it is, dog walking can be a boring exercise especially if you have more than one dog to walk. As for this job, you need to advertise yourself in your neighborhood by using flyers or approaching dog owners to ask if they need your services.

If you are 14 and above then you may consider getting a “real” job as a store or restaurant attendant this summer. Creating a resume (简历) for yourself with all the required information such as contact information and any skill or working experience that you’d like your employer to know about is important.
