     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 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.
