Why You Should Start Your Summer Job Search Now
Posted on 04/11 by Erin Helms
The winter weather is just in the rearview mirror and the hotter weather might feel like it's a long way off in the future, but the best time to start thinking about where you'll be working this summer is right now. There are plenty of benefits in starting your summer job search sooner than later!
The hiring process takes time
If you wait until May to start looking for a job, you might not start working until June or July. That's valuable time that you're missing out on earning a paycheck.
You want more options, not fewer
By applying for jobs now and working through the interview process, you might have a handful of job offers to consider when the time comes instead of having to settle for whatever's left over.
It reduces your stress in the long run
By starting the application process earlier, you'll give yourself plenty of time to write a great cover letter, polish up your resume to highlight your experience and qualifications, and you'll have time to do a little research on the companies you've applied to before your interviews. Being prepared and relaxed will help you make a great first impression.
Searching now preserves your ability to enjoy the summer later
This might sound contradictory, but it makes sense: If you're not looking for summer work until May or June, you'll spend some of those glorious early summer days writing cover letters and interviewing. Instead, by doing the work now to have a job lined up, you'll give yourself the flexibility and freedom to preserve your free time later.

This isn’t your grandfather’s workplace anymore. Employees today want more than just to show up on time, do their eight hours, and get paid on a regular basis. If your company hasn’t yet begun to consider the employee experience and their well-being—both during the workday and outside of it—you’re already behind when it comes to recruiting new, talented candidates. As an employer, how your employees feel about their time on the job, their experience in the workplace, and whether they feel supported can heavily influence whether they stay on the job or move elsewhere, but it can also negatively affect what they tell friends and family members who might be looking for a new job about what it’s like to work for your company and what they tell people online.
