Seasonal jobs are a boon for the teenagers who constantly seek avenues to earn some pocket money. These seasonal jobs are good, pay higher than the regular jobs and they teach you many things not only professionally but also on a personal level. While you are at it, there is a good chance that you may like to make this job a permanent fixture in your life. It is good to think like that because that makes you dedicated to the job that you are doing ' and that is the key to be successful.

Be prepared to be interviewed on the spot for the seasonal jobs' so practice before you go on this errand on routine questions that people would ask when they would want to engage you, such as your school rank, your skills, your experience, your free time and be sure to know at least two or three people whose names you can refer for checking your credentials. Avoid naming your relatives. The school principal, teacher of ex-employers is good choices for this, as seasonal jobs require.

Nine out of ten you will land a job much before the season starts with this approach. But let us think you could not do this and the season is here ' you want seasonal jobs then you check out the local classifieds, roam around your neighborhood where the seasonal influx of people demand more effort and check the places out. You may go prepared with a resume which has all the information required for the employer, but you can also be ready for the spot run over. Seasonal jobs are sometimes easier to land than the regular ones.

For seasonal jobs another good place to look is your own school - many schools now tie up with locals to promote summer/ seasonal jobs for the school children. If they do not have this facility, then try the local placement agencies.

Once you have one of the seasonal jobs available ' and you plan to convert it to a permanent one ' you ensure that you become indispensable. How do you do that? Easy ' with an exceptionally positive attitude. The following points will help you:

• Do your job jealously without being prodded from the back.
