Some of our workers have even turned their summer jobs into full-time, long-term, career. Riada could very well have the perfect job for you too. Here's some job skills for you.
Find out what you like to do It’s hard to know what you want to do until you have a go. How are you expected to know what you want to do for the rest of your life until you try it? Summer jobs offer the opportunity to try out new skills and experience new possibilities. This helps you make choices around your next move, whether its A Levels, further education or something to add to your personal statement. Sometimes it prompts a complete change of career direction and at the very least will help you get your next role.
Make friends and have fun After all summertime is all about having fun and making memories. A summer job allows you to meet new people, make new friends and sometimes practice the school language you think you will never use, as well as getting paid. Because Riada summer jobs are part time you will still have plenty of time to go to the beach. It’s a win win.
So now you have 5 good reasons to get a summer job.
We’ve got Jack using his GCSE French at the National Trust Giant’s Causeway, Peter taking tours around Bushmills Distillery, Michael gaining new skills as a waiter with the added bonus of £tips, Emer meeting the riders at North West 200 in the sun and Jayne spending her summer in Ballycastle helping to run the kids summer scheme.
