At The Last Minute: Where To Find Summer Jobs on Twitter

Summer’s just begun and lots of people are still scrambling for summer jobs. Here’s how you can use Twitter to find the summer jobs that are still available.

Twitter feeds for summer jobs

• @SummerJob – all kinds of summer jobs & contracts, not only for students
• @getsumcampjobs – jobs at summer camps across the USA
• @SummerWorkation – helping teachers in the USA to continue working throughout their summer vacation
• @ocsummerjobs – summer jobs in Orange County, California
• @SummerJobsUK – all kinds of summer jobs in the UK, mostly intern/entry-level or other types of jobs for students
• @SummerJobCanada – summer jobs in Canada, mostly listings for summer camps, teachers and customer service agents
• @summer_jobs_ – summer jobs from around the world at resorts in France, hotels in Greece, etc.

Twitter feeds for seasonal jobs

In summer, you’ll see summer jobs. In winter, you’ll see winter jobs. (Funny how you never seem to hear that term, isn’t it?)

• @coolworks – “finding a seasonal job or career in some of the greatest places on Earth.”
• @WhistlerJobs – jobs at the resorts and hotels of Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
• @seasonworkers_ – all kinds of seasonal jobs from around the world: nannies, teachers, etc.

Recommended Twitter searches

Twitter Search is also a good way to find summer jobs but you need to use the right keywords to get meaningful results. For example, if you search “summer job”, most of the results will be people twittering that they found a summer job or that they need a summer job.

Or if you search on these next phrases, many of the results are people who just want your money:

• screw summer jobs
• Want an easy summer job? For extra cash?
• Need a summer job?
• Anyone Need a JOB? Extra Money For the SUMMER?
• “summer job:” or “my summer job:” or “best summer job:” followed by a url

Don’t waste your time with those. Instead, use the following keyword phrases to pull up summer job leads as quickly as possible:

• Summer internship available
• Summer job available
• Summer position
• “Looking for a summer internship?”
• seeking intern for the summer
