PART TIME and SUMMER JOBS WHILE YOU'RE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL

The College and Career Center can help with resumé building, tips for interviewing, and mock interviews, and as always: read the Friday Grantonian where we regularly post local job listings and job seeking workshops.
Follow our instagram @ghscollegeandcareercentral for local jobs that come our way. Check Stories Archive "JOBS".
Don't see what you are looking for? Email Ms.Kokes to brainstorm additional avenues.

Know your rights and responsibilities and never meet someone for an interview in a private residence or other secluded spots. Doing your homework on a future employer before your interview not only makes you more prepared, it keeps you safe.
