Great location, spacious and clean room, helpful staff
Ideal location for sightseeing, shopping, public transportation, dining etc. Rooms are very comfy and quiet.
TV was of very poor quality (no HD) and had limited choice of stations. Also the elevator broke down and was unavailable for an entire day. Luckily I was only on the second floor so it didn't bother me too much. The showerhead had had its day and the toilet flush was stuck from time to time but overall good comfort in the room.
Within walking distance to Union Square. Nice staff. Free wi-fi.
The quality/price ratio very big. Room too small for the price. No slippers. The restaurant near the entrance, very cold. The waiter didn't know what kind of food is missing. Caffe de la presse, just across the street, serve a very good breakfast, with a very good coffee, at the same price.
good location great staff, very accomadating and friendly
Overall, we were very glad have have chosen to stay in Orchard Garden Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place and rooms are very well kept. Excellent free wifi service. Toilet is very spacious.
Only minor issues: The room is quite pricey and the water flow from the shower is slow.
Staff, location ,cleanliness
Gorgeous bathroom, and nice balcony with small garden which were presented as free room upgrade.
Small room itself - it's just bed-size actually. Pretty small TV. It's kind of tough to make some tea using this coffeemaker.
clean quite friendly staff centrally located
very central it is very near all key spots to visit in San Fransciso, China Town, city centre and a short walk to Embarcardo and the wharf 37. the food in the resturant was very good
friendly staff, clean rooms, perfect location
Location was excellent. Size of room was very good and very clean. Quiet but no view. Front desk staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. Felt safe at all times. Computors very slow but adequate to send a short e-mail and print boarding passes for flight (printer was available and it worked!!).
I booked this hotel many months ahead of our stay - the price was expensive but perhaps similar in range to hotels in this area but if I had waited (a month or so prior) the price would have been unbelievable--$$$$$!!!
I liked everything about this hotel. As comfortable as a luxury hotel but much more relaxed. Very helpful staff, used them for advice on restaurants, transports etc. Position just north of Union Square is perfect for your city experience. Lobby is small and breakfast area looks dull. But the roof top terrace is nice - bring your own drinks. They even encouraged us to move bottles from mini bar to make space for our own - that's nice.
Sofa bed was too narrow for two teenagers and not comfortable at all. They want to be an environment friendly hotel, so I wish they would have dispenser for shampoo etc instead of small plastic bottles.
Room very good!
The location is very close to everything we wanted to visit. Also they have turn-down service, who does that anymore!?
The rooftop terrace is amazing. We actually had our wedding ceremony and dinner there. A private location yet you still feel the buzz of the city below. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Yamona was extremely helpful in organising our wedding event. A very memorable stay indeed.
Great location, great rooms, friendly staff
Great staff, clean room, very comfortable bed!
TV reception (on CNN at least) wasn't particularly clear, but I didn't watch it much anyhow so it didn't really bother me
great location, very friendly and helpful staff, reasonably priced for location, good green credentials
relatively small room
Location is great, staff is great, place is also comfortable.
Internet connectivity is terrible. They contract with wifi-soft, an incompetent company which took me more than 4 calls and could not solve the signal issue. The Ethernet outlet is not working — the equipment on the other end does not do DHCP so it's useless. The entire hotel seems to be living on a choky 1mbps connection, which is sometimes less than what you get on a mobile phone. The hotel staff was surprised by the issue but did not resolve it in time.
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were well appointed and very clean. I loved my stay here!!
Cleanliness Staff
Location, walking distance to the many business meetings I had. Clean design, comfort, no fussy intrusions from staff.
My room was next to the housekeeping closet, so it was noisy. I valet- parked my car at the hotel, and when it came time to check out, I was told it would be as long as 25 minutes for my car to arrive. The receptionist pointed me to the fine print on my valet stub, stating that this was the case, though I should have been told this upon check-in. Thankfully, the receptionist was able to get the parking company to put a rush on my car delivery, as I had just a half-hour to make an important radio interview. My car arrived within minutes, and I thank the receptionist and contract parking company for making it happen.
Great location, clean and quiet, friendly staff
If you keep the air conditioner on during sleep, it will be a little bit noisy.
Location, design, staff, comfort, toiletries, room size.
Difficulty in regulating air conditioning.
Great location for sight-seeing, near to china town, the Italian part of the city and shopping.

Stellan Skarsgard stars in Norwegian film King of Devil's Island - he also partially bankrolled the production.
MY FIRST question for Stellan Skarsgard is a simple bit of housekeeping - how do you pronounce the surname - but the way the 61-year-old Swede answers speaks volumes about what kind of movie star he is. ''In Sweden it's Skars-gord, but usually people say Skars-guard,'' he says. ''Anything is fine. You can call me arsehole if you like.''
Skarsgard has made 90 films to date, so presumably arsehole is not an epithet he attracts all that often. When he talks about working with David Fincher on the American's remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, you get the sense of a man not given to standing on ceremony or demanding special treatment.
''He's fantastic, he manages to get budgets of $100 million - and he uses all that money just to buy time,'' he says. ''Everything ends up on the screen. There's no huge trailers or any fancy stuff going on.''
Skarsgard's latest foray into big-budget Hollywood is in The Avengers, the Marvel superhero flick packing them in at the multiplexes. It's his second go round after Thor, and it's been a surprisingly enjoyable experience, he says.
''I only did Thor because it was Kenneth Branagh directing, but I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.''
And unlike the big studios that ''don't care'' about stories, he says, marvel ''is run by really passionate comic-book guys''.
Budget aside, much the same could be said of King of Devil's Island, the excellent Norwegian escape drama - based on a true story - in which his fair-sized part was matched by his fair-sized contribution to the budget.
''I can contribute to getting small films made because when you go to a banker they see my films have made a billion dollars in the last couple of years. It's not thanks to me, but they don't understand that, so they say, 'Oh this guy makes a lot of money. Let's invest in this shitty little film.'''
Marius Holst's film may be small, but it's far from shitty. Set in 1915, it tells the tale of life inside a brutally run boys' home called Bastoy, on a Norwegian island perpetually blanketed in snow. (The film was shot in Estonia and conditions were every bit as miserable as they look, Skarsgard says, ''especially for the boys because the barracks were built without insulation''.)
When the deprivations and the hypocrisy of Skarsgard's governor in the face of the sexual abuse of a boy by a warder become too much, the inmates rebel, led by Olav (Trond Nilssen) and Erling (Benjamin Helstad). Their eventual flight across a frozen fjord makes for one of the most tense and moving scenes in recent cinema.
Working with non-actors who knew something of the life of a Bastoy boy was, Skarsgard insists, the only way to elevate the film.
''When you work with these kids you feel the hard protective shield they put up … and at the same time you can see in their eyes the vulnerable child behind it. That is not something the well-adapted young actor can play,'' he says.
It was a risk, of course. ''Some of them could have left after two days and been found in a ditch, full of drugs. But something happened when they felt there were not only demands on them but also trust in them … And that made them grow up in a way.''
Not all of them, he adds quietly. But certainly Nilssen, who won Norway's best supporting actor award for his role (the film was voted best picture) and is on his way to becoming an established actor.
''He'd had a very troubled childhood and youth. He'd never seen a camera before. He didn't believe in himself, was very nervous in the beginning. But once he got it, he was doing something fantastic.
''He said after the shoot, 'You know, this is the first thing in my life that I ever completed.' That's a frightening thought but it's also something amazing.''
King of Devil's Island is out now.

Your Questions About Finding A Summer Job College
Lisa asks…
Where to look for these types of summer jobs?
I'm thinking about going out to Texas or somewhere out west next summer ( I will have just finished my sophomore year in college) to work on a farm hopefully. I am wondering how I would go about finding these kinds of jobs. Also looking for jobs on oil rigs or anything along those lines.
Mikey answers:
Try checking snagajob.com
Joseph asks…
Is it a good idea to teach violin/piano lessons as a summer job?
I can't find a SINGLE job for the summer that fits around my summer classes, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to either give violin lessons (been playing for 10 years), piano lessons (been playing for 12 years), or tutor HS math (I'm a math major in college). The problem with this is that I will not be able to continue giving music lessons once fall term starts because I have a very full class schedule. Do you think this will still be a problem for me? As long as I tell the student/family that the lessons are temporary, it should be okay, right? I hope lol.
I'm 18 y.o., almost 19, and I plan to charge very competitive rates since, despite my experience, I don't have any "resume-written" experience (ie a music degree).
Mikey answers:
If you feel comfortable teaching (remember playing well and teaching well aren't necessarily synonymous) and you're up front with the parent and student I think it's a great way to earn some money and improve your own musicianship as well. Go for it!
Carol asks…
My girlfriend said there was that spark missing and she didn't really mean "I miss you" in texts?
My girlfriend and I have been together 7 months and recently have been separated due to her moving back home for the summer. We both attend the same college and had been friends for at least a year before we started dating. This past semester I didn't do the greatest in the classroom. Obviously I put much more stock into being with her, I was part of a Division 1 sports team, and had to balance a couple tough courses as I am a senior. I feel that I should be able to share my grades with her, and as embarrassing as it was for me to tell her I did poorly (because I am just above average when it comes to my classes) I figured she would at least be understanding and maybe tell me to make sure I get help with class work or even help me a little her self! I had told her my grades and she blew up at me and said she can't continue seeing me! She doesn't want to be with me basically cause she values someone who gets good grades! I will admit I struggled and should have asked for help and gave up in one particular class. So that night she ended things. She called back two days later and apologized saying she thinks it wouldn't be completely right to end things due to that. I told her I will do better and may need her help. That was literally our first ever fight and I could tell the it opened our eyes a little. Not saying that fighting is bad, but it had never happened so it was a little different to us. A week past after that and we have not been able to see each other due to a pretty good distance. She called me kinda out of the blue telling me that she just didn't feel the same spark anymore. This is only after barely two weeks of being apart. She also mentioned she thought it was unfair to me that when she said 'I miss you' via text to me that she just didn't feel like she meant it that much. She has family around and friends to visit while I am stuck back at college finding a summer job so naturally I feel like I would miss her a little more with nothing going on in my schedule. Is it just me or is there going to be a little lack of spark due to us not being able to be together for the summer? Obviously we never fight and "I have treated her the best she has ever been treated" <– her words. Is she jumping the gun and ending things because she is scared that she doesn't feel the same as I quite do? Is it dumb to end things because I messed up in a couple classes? I know that someone should be with someone because they love them and make them feel good! Which is exactly what we have had for a good amount of time. I'd appreciate helpful and positive feedback. I don't want anyone hating on her. I truly love her and want to make things work. I think she is just scared. This is new to both of us (the small fight and the distant relationship for the summer)!!
Mikey answers:
Maybe she is just scared alright or she has someone new.

Mikey answers:
I am speechless and it seems to me like she really like the smart or strongest part of you and she is not ready to accept that you also have weakness.
I think that she was considering you as someone indestructible and strong. She does not want to see you vulnerable and weak sometimes, but she has to get used to that because it is the way you are.
Mandy asks…
Can you help me find a camp counselor job?
Can you help me find a camp counselor job?
Okay, so I'm fourteen years old and I want a summer job to help save up for college A camp counselor sounds fun and I was wondering if there were any camps in the Virginia/Pennsylvania area that allows you to be that age. Could you give me any links? Thanks for your help!!
P.S – Please no spam!!!
Mikey answers:
At that age, you probably can't get a paying job. In most states you must be 16 and have a worker's permit, unless you know the person running the camp and they let you. Find camps in your area and contact them to be sure, but you're better suited for babysitting and dogwalking at fourteen.

Your Questions About Finding A Summer Job College
Ruth asks…
How will my low high school GPA in relation to my high college GPA effect my chances of finding a good job?
Currently, I am a first semester senior at a university in the Big Ten with a GPA that rounds up to a 3.4 and a major GPA of 3.6 in Computer Science. However, I had a high school GPA of 1.3 before I went to community college and fixed it up with a 3.78 GPA. I noticed that many employers still ask for my high school GPA on their formal applications for internships and I was wandering how my high school GPA would effect my chances for an internship during the summer. How would an employer view this kind of negative information? I would appreciate any type of feedback that I could get.Thanks.
Mikey answers:
No one cares about your HS GPA. Once you graduate from college it will never come up again. Hopefully this summer they will see that you are working hard in college and overlook your HS GPA.
Robert asks…
Where can i find a part time job in MD before I leave for college?
I'm 17 years old and turning 18 in the summer I am about to graduate form high school and leaving for university of md eastern shore in the summer. I really need a job to help pay for school any suggestion on where i can work?
Mikey answers:
Since you will be working short term how about a summer camp?
James asks…
Is it hard for first year part time law students to find a summer associate position?
I recently was admitted into DePaul College of Law as a part time student. I met with an advisor who told me I would be able to switch to full time after my first year ending in May. My question is, will it be hard to find a good summer associate job after my first year since I only have one year of part time law school under my belt? Will it help that they know that I will not be full time?
Mikey answers:
Yes it will, especially since many large firms are discontinuing these programs due to a glut of lawyers. It is almost certain that none of the big firms will pick you up, but you can probably find a job clerking with a medium or smaller size firm. The pay probably won't be great but you need the experience. If worst comes to worst and you can't find a paying job, volunteer somewhere. Though it might not seem like it right now, the experience and contacts you get from clerking during the summer are worth much more than money you earn.
Mark asks…
Job searching — Is this a good idea?
I'm a 19 year old college student and I'm trying to find a summer job. I've turned in six applications so far. Someone told me it looks good when you call the manager to "follow up" with your application after you've turned it in. Is this a good idea? And how long should I wait to call? Should I blatantly ask for an interview?
Any help in this category would be much appreciated.
Mikey answers:
Following up is fine and you should wait about a week. Do not be pesky with your calls.
You can say you are following up on your application and ask what are the chances you will get an interview. State run career centers have a summer job program for 16-24 year old youth. Contact your closest state run career center
Maria asks…
What can an unemployed college student do to make a productive use of her summer?
I've had the worst of luck trying to find a job and no one is available to hang out with.
How can I pass time productively and efficiently? I've literally been lying around my house the past few weeks with absolutely nothing to do.
Mikey answers:
Volunteer. Its also a nice thing to put on a resume.

Maria asks…
Where could i find a summer job in Dublin?
i'm 16
i'd do it anywhere
office job,clothes shop, wherever
i know it'd be difficult because of the current economic situation.
Mikey answers:
You're right – it will be difficult. Therefore you have to prove that you have qualities that others do not have. How can you prove you are reliable? Do you interact with others, including people of various ages? Can you take orders and use initiative?
You might already have some of the answers (and not realise it!). What do you do outside school hours? Examine your past lifestyle and see if there is anything that would prove to employers you are the one. Incorporate these facts in a short summary – for a summer job one A4 sheet is enough (since people are too busy to read any more).
Do you know anybody in business? In Ireland the best way of getting a job is by previous contacts. Ask politely if anybody is looking for summer help, and stress that you will do anything reasonable.
You can also copy your summary/CV and leave it with various shops, businesses, etc, but don't forget to follow it up with a personal visit a week later. Don't wear jeans, look clean and smile as you had it in (Address it to the "Manager", and always provide an individual address for each business, rather than handing a generic envelope). If you think they're interested, do a little research about their business beforehand, so you can anticipate some questions if you receive them.
Above all, keep trying and remember that you have a lot to offer!
Good luck.

George asks…
How can a teenager find a summer job?
Okay, I am 17 years old (turning 18 in one month) and I am about to graduate high school. I did very well in high school (AP courses,etc) and will be attending the best university in the state. I am definitely a smart, hard-working person but I am having a huge problem finding a job.
My only real job experience is 6 months at a clothing store. I also have been babysitting for 5 years and had a short junior camp counselor position last summer.
I am not picky at all, I just want is a minimum wage job but I am having a lot of difficulty. I have applied to about 30 jobs so far. I applied to all kinds of positions that require little or no experience: camp counselor, coffee barista, pet store associate, doctor's assistant, waitress, etc.
Advice PLEASE? I am desperate for a job right now. It would be a lot easier if I was already 18 I think.
Mikey answers:
The economy is tough and no being 18 wouldn't help you a whole lot. I am 21 and have been unemployed for the past 2 years I just found a job this past week that interviewed and hired me. It's really hard out there. If you don't find a job by the end of may I would consider doing some volunteer work at a local shelter at least then you would have something to do this summer. Good luck

…. I can't drive…
i don't mind kids,i'm cool with gardening,and walking dogs.But i don't know how to go about like advertising
Mikey answers:
Do you like kids? Maybe you could babysit for your neighbors or something. Are you good with animals? You could walk dogs, or pet sits. Find your likes and your strengths. Do you have a green thumb? You could try taking care of peoples plants while there gone. Maybe if you decide to babysit, you could take the kids to a roller skating rink, getting them involved in something you like.
Ken asks…

Mikey answers:
Jobs are scarce and non existant for those who's English is not fluent.
If you are not an EU citizen you will not be able to work in the UK without a visa anyway.

Your Questions About Finding A Summer Job College
Donna asks…
How much money can I make with a full-time summer job?
I'm seventeen years old and need to start saving up for college… I also want to buy a lap top, and the one I have my eye on is almost six hundred dollars. I want to make as much as possible this summer by getting a full-time job. But I could probably only find a job at a local restaurant or store. (Please give me specific ideas if you have any, by the way! Maybe WalMart, Target, Arctic Circle, Wendy's…?) Anyway, if I were to work at a cheap place like that full-time (which would be 8 hours, right about four days a week, right?) how much could I get over the full summer vacation (just under three months)? Feel free to share any experiences you've had as well
Mikey answers:
You can figure this yourself. Multiply the minimum wage amount x the amount of hours you plan to work x the number of days you work.
$7.25 x 8 hour day = $58 a day. Over 3 months if you can work 5 days a week you will earn about $3,480 over a summer. You have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes of about $200 from that so you will make about $3,280. You won't owe Federal taxes but may owe a small amount of state taxes depending upon where you live.

Ruth asks…
If my major in college is print journalism and I can't find a writing job/internship then what other field can
my major is print journalism and I have to do an internship over the summer, but I am finding it almost impossible to get anything involving writing. The dean gave us an online list of newspaper places where we could possibly get internships, but there are only like 2 places I would have access to, and neither of them seemed to be able to help me when I called them. In addition, I do not want to work with a newspaper anyway. So if I could not get an internship at a newspaper place, are there any other places, i.e. government places where I can easily get an internship, whether or not it involves writing? Even if it just involves office tasks or something else, I am sure that would suffice. Does anyone know of any places? I really need to find a place because I need an internship and I am running out of time.
Mikey answers:
Nonprofit organizations are usually delighted to get interns – and you would have a broader experience there than at a newspaper.
Some nonprofits that I can think of are YMCA, a large church, the Red Cross, museums, and facilities that help the unfortunate. (My megachurch maintains a Samaritan Center where they sell people's donated clothing and household items and help people who have been burned out or are out of work, etc.) All such organizations do a lot of public relations work.
Or, perhaps you can intern in the mayor's office! Depending on the size of city you live in or near, there should be a lot of potential places. You will need to clear whatever you choose, however, with your dean.
George asks…
I might be getting this job at the dealership?
The manager had three positions opened ~ auto detailing (commission), courtesy driver (I'm assuming minimum wage?) (Nebraska), washer/dryer in servicing
Which one seems more reasonable. I'm a college student finding a full time job during summer.
Mikey answers:
Driver would the most fun with not as much manuel labor.
James asks…
I am a college student, this summer I want to move to somewhere else in the USA, maybe another country to get?
a summer job…I have heard of things where they give you housing and food but only pay you little. what is this called and how can i find out about them. I want to go somewhere I can have fun with other kids my age (im 19)
Mikey answers:
You are probably referring to an Internship. There are many opportunities out there… You should talk to your advisors about internship opportunities that relate to your major. These will look great on your resume, and you'll definitely be above everyone else if you have BOTH a degree and real experience in the field.
Donald asks…
Question about finding a job?
So I really want to get a job this summer to start saving money to pay back college loans and a car I'm getting soon. I'll be done with my first year of college in a few weeks and will head home to San Diego promptly. I have no experience working, and I know the economy isn't in it's greatest shape. Do I have a shot at getting a job? I really want experience but I have no idea where to begin! Help please?
Mikey answers:
Drive the Snack Cart at the local golf course. If that job isn't open, caddy. It is one of the best jobs you can do.
Apply at office buildings and industrial areas where most people don't apply. Avoid the retail stores and grocery stores which are getting 100 applications per week.
You may have to invent a job for yourself. Learn how to fix an HDTV. The current wait for a repairman is 3 weeks.

Nancy asks…
Help finding a 2nd part time job?
I need to work 2 jobs this summer. I have a M-F day job and I am taking a college class (PE) M-Th evenings. My availability for my 2nd job would be Fri. nights and Sat-Sun open. Do you know of any jobs or employers that will hire someone to work only 3 days a week? Please help.
Mikey answers:
I would try various restaurants and apply as a waitress or even cookstaff. I work at a country club and make (before cash tips) between 8-9 dollars an hour because of the tip pool. Some weeks it's more like 10-11 dollars/hour.
Also try movie theaters-those are their busy nights, and I hear they pay somewhat decent.
Sharon asks…

Jenny asks…
Disabled college student searching for job advice?
Like many people, I need a job (specifically for the summer).
I'm a rising junior in college, double-majoring in both French and English. I live in southeast Virginia, and I'm willing to do any job that I can physically do. I'm in a wheelchair some of the time but I can walk; basically I get tired easily when walking.
I'm fluent in French, have been published in a local poetry book, can type 70-80 words per minute, and I have outstanding customer service skills. I've got some volunteer experience, and have excelled in the academic world. I've been on the Deans List since starting college, and have won first place in a statewide French fluency competition, among other things. The problem is I don't have the necessary degrees or minimum experience to be considered for the jobs I am most suited for.
As for my disability, I've pretty much ruled out everything related to food or frequent standing because they will exhaust me.
What suggestions can you give me on how to find a job?
Also, what are the chances of finding a job I could physically do through websites like www.workforstudents.com? I've heard a lot of, if not all of the jobs given out by websites like that are things I just can't do, such as pool cleaning or roofing.
Thank you for your help.
Mikey answers:
Nathan, just list those wonderful talents you have and boast about them! Sell youself. In California, on every application they ask if you are disabled and this actually will give you the edge!
Carol asks…
How to find a job between college years?
It's the summer now and I have just completed my first year of college. My program is only two years so I am halfway done. I am taking Business and Insurance programs and majoring in Insurance. I have already worked for the last 2 and a half years at Mcdonald's starting as crew and working up to a crew trainer position. I know that doesn't sound all that impressive, but I am hoping to get something related to what I am going to school for.
I am unsure what jobs I can even apply for, I have just been applying to anything. I am just afraid I will have to be a dishwasher or something :S And not get paid much. I realize I don't have much to offer but how do I convince an employer to take a chance on me? I am so scared to job hunt again because when I first got my last job 3 years ago I had a heck of a time getting a chance. I lived in a small town and there are no opportunities there. I have since moved to a city and there are more jobs, but am having a hard time standing out.
Any help would be great! Also tips on what to do and what not to do would be great as well!
Mikey answers:
You're taking the program because you have a job in sight.
So find a company that is going to need your skills when you're finished. Call and say you're in school and you'd like to talk to someone for 20 minutes for a real world perspective. (Important: don't mention jobs.) You might be surprised at how willing they'll be to share.
This will give you a chance to take a look and learn. It will give them an opportunity to look at you. Maybe you'll develop a contact you can continue to network with as you wrap up your schooling.
Be careful about "applying to anything". The modern job hunt is focused. There are 4 people applying for every McDonald's job so to get anywhere, you have to specialize.
James asks…
I'm mad because I can't find a job this summer? Pissed?
I stopped by and literally applied at every store I am qualified to. I'm 18, and I NEED extra money and experience before I head off to college. Plus I'm sick of riding on my parents bank account. I've been applying since early May, but all their lineups are full. I call managers to look up on my application and they're like "I'll do it later" or seem uninterested. What do I have to do to get a job?
Mikey answers:
Try registering with a couple of agencies. You may have started too late to find a job. Most teens have been out since Xmas looking for a job. Jobs are very scarce as you see. Don't call anyone, just show up and put in an application. You might be lucky enough to get an on the spot interview. Talk to family and friends to let them know you are job hunting. Landscapers are always looking for help at this time of year. Just keep trying…..

Susan asks…
I'm having a difficult time finding a job this summer, Any suggestions to me?
Mikey answers:
Well heres a suggestion…If you live near a university or college, call them and ask if they have summer camps like Upward Bound Program or Gifted, Talented students and see if they would hire for a mentor in the summer. If they do hire you, you get free room and board on campus, free meals, all the time in the world to do nothing, and you even get a nice check at the end of 6 weeks. Just a suggestion though.
George asks…
What if I can't find a summer job?
I'm a first-year university student studying mathematics. The studying itself isn't too stressful, but instead I'm absolutely terrified of the prospect of finding a job during the summer months.
Ultimately, I've never had a paid job before. However, I'm doing my best to improve my employability in the meantime – alongside studies I volunteer at a local charity shop for 11-12 hours a week (experience + a good reference), and I've recently passed my driving test, which is helpful because it means there are more jobs I can apply for. My plan is to print off a ridiculous amount of CVs, then during the Easter break (basically all of April) hand them out anywhere and everywhere.
However, even with good grades and volunteer work, that might not be enough to obtain a job during the summer, given how tough the market can be, and the idea of not having a summer job is almost too horrible for me to contemplate.
So what do I do if I fail in finding a job? Of course, I could always volunteer at another charity shop during those months (unlike employers, they always seem to want extra help), but I'd ideally want to be earning some money alongside the experience.
Mikey answers:
'…You can give private tutoring to people that need Math help or you
can try getting in work study in your school.'
Good advice but if the asker wants to get paid, this would class as self-employment and he would need to refer to places or websites like hmrc and businesslink in regards to that for more information.
Recent graduate Cindy Longwani says '…Many graduates are suffering as a result and doing jobs that school leavers would do on summer breaks…I started looking for graduate scheme jobs…I would get response and even invited to interviews but would not be successful…determining that God will remember my sacrifice…Today I work as an internal auditor in John Lewis head office Corporate Credit Audit department ' =

where can i start looking. ive asked around and no luck. internet doesnt seem to help. im looking for theatre and or clerical work. preferably clerical work is at a computer. whre can i find help with this, my school isnt doing anything for me
Mikey answers:
It really depends on the state you are in, as all the labor laws are different. Try small places, like Cold Stone Creamery (if you have that). I know they hire kids that are 14 and older.
You HAVE to get your school to give you the okay to work (good grades are a must).

What are some summer job ideas for a 15-year-old?

How to find a summer job?
i'm 15 and need a job in the summer, i need to pay for my car, school stuff, etc. any advice on how to make finding one easier?
Mikey answers:
Any work you do and earn money is a JOB.
Your options are limited. Most businesses want you to be 16 to hire you for gainful employment.
Time to be inventive,
My suggestions to you:
Make up fliers and pass them around in your neighborhood.
Offer to do whatever work it is you want to do, such as :
Computer work, Babysit, Clean Garages, Organize Cupboards, File Papers, Wash Cars, Mow Lawns, Pull Weeds, Tutor the neighbors kids, wash Dogs, Dog sit, Clean the Pool, Assist the elderly, whatever…
Post first whatever it is you want to do or are good at …
However, You should keep your options open and make a decision after the persons call you instead of not giving them many reasons to call.
Your neighbors who might hire you do not have to be residents, they might be local businesses that need a little job done. Do not be afraid to ask and apply. You won't get a job if you don't try.

How to find a summer job?
What's the best way to find a summer job? I'm willing to do just about anything, but surfing job sites has generally only found full-time positions, not summer or part time jobs. Anyone have any advice on the best way to find a summer job?
Also, I know I'm a little late in starting… I didn't know I needed one until now.
Also – I'm 16, have good people skills, am in good physical shape, and am taking the hardest classes my school has to offer and excelling in them.

Your Questions About Finding A Summer Job College
Susan asks…
College student with job seeking woes?
I'm 20 years old and I go to community college. I've been looking for a job for the summer and I accidentally passed up some good job opportunities. Don't blame me, blame my voicemail on my phone. I am still angry about that. Anyway, I have booked some trips during the summer because I gave up a while ago on finding a job during the summer. After my missed job interviews, I got my hope back. The problem is I won't be getting a job soon. I leave in two weeks to go to Canada to visit my boyfriend. I come back on July 18th and I'm going back to Canada during the first week of August to go to a wedding with my boyfriend. My mom told me that I need to find a job and I agree. I am not independently wealthy or anything. I need to help pay for school, gas, and textbooks. Nobody will hire a girl who is leaving every two weeks and I probably won't be able to get a job until August. I'm pretty sure nobody will hire someone who says she can't start until August.
So, that's probably a big wall of text. If you did read, I really need some advice. I'm kind of stressing over this. My mom just doesn't understand my predicament. I already bought my plane ticket for Canada. I really want to go to that wedding. Please help.
Mikey answers:
It's pretty obvious. You should cancel both trips and work if you need the money, but since you already have the tickets, use them, and forget about the wedding and start working as soon as you can. Learn to prioritize. Take vacations when you can afford them, not instead of your bills, textbooks, and tuition.
Robert asks…
Summer job for 15 year old?
I'm leaving school at the end of may and i'd like a job for the summer as i will have nothing to do for about three months 'til i start college in september. I don't really mind what type of job it is, i just need to know where to look? If you know of any websites or anything that might be helpful? I live in the u.k and i'm not 16 until the end of july which kind of makes it harder for me to find a job because the majority of places are more likely to hire somebody at the age of 16 rather than someone that is 15..
Mikey answers:
Many 15 year olds work in the UK. There are no websites, you need to walk around the shops and cafes and ask. I employed all my summer youngsters from those who came into my business and asked if there were any vacancies. The Tourist area I worked in relied on you all to keep us going through the summer.
Good Luck.
Donna asks…
Is anyone who is a current college student having good luck finding jobs with limited experience?
Is anyone who is a current college student having good luck finding a job with the economy the way it is?
The reason why I ask is because I am a current college student and I have been looking for jobs since April and so far no luck. I have some past experiences, but not a lot. I have done some acting for the summer and worked in retail for a month before I had to go back to school. I did do work study in a coffee shop for about a year but no calls yet. The calls I did get were from insurance companies that paid based on how much you sell rather than hourly wage and I was not sure about applying there based on my experience. I even looked online for tips on how to edit my resume. What should I do now and what tips could you give? Also, has anyone have luck in finding jobs
Mikey answers:
I was having a hard time, and I have more work experience than you do (though I'm also younger than you, I would guess). The fact is, the economy is pretty sucky right now, and a lot of people older than you with a lot more experience are having a time of it finding jobs. The only reason I got a job is because a good friend was able to vouch for my skills and hard work, and wrote a letter of recommendation for me.
Bottomline? Apply everywhere you can think of, even places in hiring freezes. If they want you badly enough, they'll hire you (I got hired at a place that is currently in a hiring freeze). Also, make sure you look polished and professional, even if you're just popping in to get an application. Try to use paper applications whenever possible, because these force you to go in and out of the store, so there's a chance a manager might see you and think you a good fit–as opposed to you just being a name on an online application. After your application has been turned in, wait about a week and then call to follow-up–they'll either turn you down or go review your application. It's a good way to get yours at the top of the pile. In the meantime, seek out volunteer work–it may not be a paying job, but it will boost your experience and your chances. Good luck!

I don't mean even a business, 9-5 job, I mean telemarketing, Bath and Body Works, Blockbuster, like retail!
Mikey answers:
Times have changed quick, now businesses want peole with a masters degree or specialty degrees. A bachelors degree doesnt mean anything any more.

Finding a job in Washington, DC?
I am moving to DC for the summer. How hard is it to find a part-time job? I am a college student and not looking for anything too serious. I have restaurant and retail experience. Any tips?
Mikey answers:
There are a lot of different jobs in DC. A lot of jobs are in retail, and it depends on if you want to work inside or outside. You could easily get a job as a vendor, selling snacks, drinks, and souvenirs to tourists. Or there are jobs at places like Pentagon City Mall and Crystal City and Union Station. There are plenty of jobs up there in retail.

Helen asks…
Summer Ideas?!? please help?
Hi, I am a recent high school graduate and will be attending Emory University this fall. I know this is really late, but I need some help finding summer jobs/internships/opportunities. I am already volunteering at a hospital but that is only 4 hours a week. Does anyone know of any opportunities in the Atlanta area that are still open? All the stuff i have found so far is aimed towards college graduates…. please help
Mikey answers:
What do you really love to do? Find a way to do that thing. If you're at a hospital, volunteer at a rehab center or retirement home. Intern at a child care center, read to kids at the library. I don't know what you're really into, or I could make more suggestions. Meditate and ask for help with your search. The answer usually will come to you.
Carol asks…
Is it bad to put your information into a job search engine?
I have heard that sometimes if you put your information into a job search engine that it can backfire on you because if your information stays in the system too long, they won't consider you if you are searching for jobs later on (right now I am in college and am looking for a summer job, but later I might use the same search engine to find a job after college, and my inactive profile could backfire on me)
I have tried applying to many places in the area, and none of them have called back.
but you did not answer the question, BEST ANSWER, 10 POINTS!!
Mikey answers:
It doesn't matter because the general job search engines are absolutely terrible at finding jobs. Probably less than 10% of successful job searches result from Monster or Careerbuilder.
Much better is to apply directly on the company's job site. Better still is to be networking on LinkedIn, watching the people in your field and asking questions/learning.
Blanket blasting to "many places in the area" doesn't work any more, as you discovered. Modern job searching involves targeting your approach–learning about the companies you want to work for and how you can help them. This builds your resume for the serious job after college.
Daniel asks…
Where can I find a job?
I am live in Lancaster, Pa and I am 18 years old. I really need a summer job to earn money for college. Where can I find one? PLEASE HELP.
Mikey answers:
Well if you weren't lazy, then you could find a job anywhere.
Now apply your filters of scrutiny, and you can't find a job!
You could find a job at a grocery store, pharmacy, retail store, etc.
Being 18, without education, and in PA will not get you a good job that pays well.

Best Uses
This saw is used for trimming trees, then cutting up those branches for hauling away or for firewood.
The thing I like best is, no gas to mix and pullcord to start the saw motor. The second best is, no cord to drag around with the saw.
It has completed every job that I've tackled and has done so quickly.
Best Uses
All Lithium ion tehcnology is simple to use and quiet. No complaining neighbors. Most simple tasks are easily done. The hedge trimmer, string trimmer, pole saw, and blower are quiet and have minimal maintenance. All Li ion tools excellent for light weight jobs that can be done quickly. I really like the pole saw that lets me reach surprisingly high without losing control.
