Wired News: Sure, it's still March, but summer's fast approaching. For a high school or college student, that means job-hunting season will soon be under way. Plenty of places on the internet are geared toward helping would-be employees find a job. But what if you're looking for seasonal or part-time employment -- is there a more appropriate place to hit up than traditional job sites?
Some websites cater to just those needs. GrooveJob.com, Teens4Hire.org and student-run newcomer JobSherpa.com purport to help students find jobs and refine their employment-seeking skills. Even the federal government has jumped into the act with its site, Studentjobs.gov.
The sites generally operate by charging employers a fee to advertise open positions. Students can search open postings for free, with or without registering, depending on the site. Some also offer extras like résumé-building help or tips for getting through an interview.
Those running the sites say they're more useful to students and those in their teens to early 20s than general job sites are because they list high-turnover, entry-level positions. They might also lead students to jobs with nontraditional hours for those with college schedules to accommodate.
"If you come to our site you'll see not only do we have the right type of jobs that will fit around your schedule ... but we have all the tools, all the resources," said David Hunegnaw, a partner and one of three founders of GrooveJob.com.
