Tips for finding seasonal jobs on Indeed?

I've been browsing Indeed for seasonal jobs, but I'm not having much luck. Does anyone have advice on how to effectively search for and land a seasonal job through Indeed, especially for someone still in high school?

Sure, happy to share some tips on how to make your job search on Indeed more effective!

1. Use Specific Keywords: You can greatly narrow down your search by using specific keywords in the search function. For example, you can use "seasonal," "summer," or "temporary" as part of your search terms. Also, include the type of job you're interested in (for example, "retail," "warehouse," "server," etc.)

2. Location Filter: Make sure you're only looking for jobs within your commuting range. You can adjust the distance from your location to ensure this.

3. Age Filter: Since you're in high school, note that some jobs might have an age requirement. If you’re under 18, you can look for roles described as "teen jobs" or include "16 years old" in your search to find age-appropriate positions.

4. Read Job Descriptions Carefully: Make sure to read the job descriptions in detail, including the qualifications and requirements of the job. This will help you understand if you're a good fit for the position.

5. Tailor Your Resume: Customize your resume for each application to reflect the skills and experiences mentioned in the job posting. Having a well-crafted resume can greatly increase your chances of getting an interview.

6. Set Up Job Alerts: Indeed allows you set up job alerts for specific search terms. This way, you'll receive an email whenever a new job that matches your criteria is posted.

7. Remember to Follow Up: Always send a follow-up email after submitting an application, ideally within a week. It demonstrates your interest and can help keep you on the employer's radar.

I hope these tips help make your job search on Indeed more effective. Best of luck in your search!
