"  &amp;quot;What are some common summer jobs for teenagers that will look good on a college r\u00E9sum\u00E9?&amp;quot; Kristel, 14, Athens, GA Colleges love to see students take their interests and activities to the next level, so getting a full or part-time job over the summer can be a great way to enhance your college application while also earning some extra cash. But before you sign up for the first employment opportunity that comes your way, think about finding a job that will tell a college a little bit more about your personality or academic and extracurricular talents. If you plan on being premed in college, working in a hospital as a candy striper or research assistant will show you&amp;#039;ve put some serious thought into that decision. If you&amp;#039;re an aspiring filmmaker or journalist, think about working as a production assistant for the local television station. If politics are your ambition, see what opportunities are available with your local city council or state government. And great summer jobs don&amp;#039;t necessarily have to be related to a possible career \u2014 what you do to earn money can give a college a glimpse into your personality. For instance, working as a lifeguard or at a sporting-goods store for outdoor enthusiasts, a bookstore for literary buffs, or a boutique for fashion and accessory mavens.   When it comes time to find a job, don&amp;#039;t just rely on &amp;quot;Help wanted&amp;quot; signs in store windows. Make a list of the companies in your area where you&amp;#039;d like to work. Then put together a r\u00E9sum\u00E9 of your experience \u2014 if this is your first job and you don&amp;#039;t have prior work experience, then your r\u00E9sum\u00E9 should include volunteering, after-school activities, leadership positions, and any community involvements, like singing in your church choir. Bring copies of your r\u00E9sum\u00E9 along with you to each company where you&amp;#039;d like to work, and ask to speak to the manager or human resources director about summer employment opportunities. It may take a little extra work to pound the pavement, but it&amp;#039;ll be worth it once you find a job that taps into your career or personal interests. Best of luck!
