Depending on what you're interested in, there are various places where you could find summer job opportunities.

If you're looking for a customer service job, places like local retail shops, cafes, restaurants, and cinemas often hire students over the summer. These types of roles typically don't require previous work experience which is great for high school students.

For those interested in learning skills related to a future career pathway, consider looking out for internships or opportunities in businesses aligned with your interests. For example, if you're interested in nature or horticulture, check out local gardening centers or farms.

If you like kids, you could consider working as a summer camp counselor. There are often local summer school programs and day camps that hire high schoolers. They usually look for energetic individuals who can keep kids engaged and ensure their safety.

For a more corporate environment, local businesses may have summer jobs or internships, especially in fields like marketing, accounting, IT, or HR. This could give you an insight into a potential future career.

You can find these job opportunities through online job boards like Kingston's local classifieds, Indeed, or LinkedIn. Local newspapers also have job listings that could be helpful.

Don't forget to reach out to your family, friends, or local community groups as they might know of some opportunities. Networking is often a great way to find job openings that may not be advertised widely.

If you're interested in a certain company, it wouldn't hurt to reach out to them directly and inquire if they have any positions available or if they offer internships. Showing initiative can go a long way!

Remember, a summer job could be an excellent way to build useful skills, enhance your resume, and make some money. It's important to choose something you’ll enjoy and where you can learn something valuable to help you in your future career.
