  3. I have never had a summer job but I would like to. Since next year I'm going to study outside I'm going to need money to pay my university, my new house, material... I'm interested in part-time jobs because even if I want to work, which I do, I also want to enjoy my vacations with my friends and my boyfriend. I would like to work in a small shop or something not too stressful. I think I might be good handle with people and I don't mind beeing paid humble wadges if I can be comfortable with my job.

    1. Hi José! That would be wonderful. A job not too much stressful so you can relax with your friends and boyfriend and still get paid. It could be hard to find it but I wish you luck with that!

  4. I've never had a summer job nor a weekend job but I would like to. I'm actually interested in any kind of job as long as I can fulfill the tasks without any difficulty but I love kids so babysitting or helping with homework would be my first choice. Also it's not a full time job so it would be easier.

  5. if I have had summer and weekend work, it is something I like to do and it has also been an experience that helps you to be more independent and have your own savings for something future like studies, trips... I would like to work mostly on something I like, although I am willing to work anything as long as I have reasonable qualities.

  6. I've never had a summer job, but I'd like to, because I can learn a lot of things and also make money. To start, I'd like to work walking dogs, because it's not a full-time job, then I'd have time for other things. I also wouldn't belong to a company either. I think this is a good job to start with.

    1. Hellow Marta, do you think it would be a hard job or not? How many dogs would you walk as maximum?

    2. Never listen to kind of job. This look a little funny.

      Delete
    3. Hi José Riego, I think it can be a hard work, because you're responsible for an animal's life, and you have to be careful that it doesn't escape. I wouldn't want to walk too many dogs and make it a chaos.

  7. I have never had a summer job, but i would like because it is good to have experience and to earn my own money. I´d like to work in some clothing store because I think that is a good work to starts in the labour market and it´s not a full-time job so I would enjoy my vacations or weekends.

  10. Have you ever had a summer or weekend job? Would you like to? What kind of job would you be interested in? Tell us about it!
    Actually last summer I was willing to take up some typical summer job such as working at an ice cream shop, a café... but at the end I did not because I was told I was not old enough to work there. Now that I am older, this summer I would like to go for it and work in some establishment where I can interact with people, just to earn some money and gain work experience in order to have more looseness socially speaking.

    1. Hi Joaquin, I would like to see you this summer at some job, I hope you are lucky and you can put me an ice cream.

    2. I very much agree with your opinion. It seems to me that it is a good choice, besides serving the public is easy and with it, you gain cunning to speak in public. I hope you find something you like this summer.
      A greeting.

  11. If I remember correctly no, i haven't. But maybe sometime I will. In the years coming by I'm pretty sure Im going to need it. Im not really sure which job though because i can't see myself working as a waiter or as an amusement park worker. What a would really like is making money with my art, with commisions. I dont see it as a job for all my life but maybe for just a summer it could be nice.

    1. Sounds good!
      In summer you will have a lot of free time and that could help you improve your drawing and dedicate the time what you want.

  12. Once I work every weekend in May, and in the "Colombinas" of that same year. Consisted of working as a kitchen assistant, full-time job. But I didn't need to do a CV, because the boss is a friend of my parents and was not a company.

    If I have a opportunity again, I would repeat!

    I would like to dedicate myself to mine, crafts, and work the necessary hours and for me like an autonomous.

  13. I've never had a summer job or a weekend job, but I would like to. In this quarentina, if I have worked in the family business, my parents have a fishmonger.
    I would be interested in the job of the clerks of the clothing store in Holea or a small clothing store in my city. I am interested in part time jobs because even if I want to work, I also want to enjoy my vacation with my boyfriend.

  14. Yes, I usually work on vacation. My job is to set up a stall in a craft market in Islantilla in summer and the rest of the year to work in my accessories store in Huelva. Apart from serving the public, it also consists of making the products by hand.
    I really like my job because this way I can pay my expenses and since it is not a full time job I can do many more things during the day.

    A greeting. Rita Flores González.
