(NAPSA)—Atthe end of each school year, as collegians prepare to pack their dorm rooms and depart campus, they are faced with the decision of a summer job. If being a camp counselor, restaurant employee, or clerk seems less than appealing, there are alternatives. This summer, students can have fun and make the grade with some career tips from Tupperware: Allow the job to work for you: Work experience should be enriching, whether you are acquiring new skills or simply working for a paycheck. A career with Tupperware provides the opportunity to be independent and build skills that last a lifetime. Being your own boss gives you the freedom to create your own schedule (so you still have time for fun in the sun), along with the opportunity to practice presentation, time management and leadership skills. Owning an independent business not only complements a busy schedule, but assists with career advancement and distinguishes a resume from a pool of job applicants. Give back to the community: While collecting a paycheck is important, helping those in need also has its rewards. Offering assistance over the summer with volunteer programs at nursing homes, local hospitals or community centers can enrich someone else’s life as much as your own. If working with kids interests you, contact your local YMCA or get involved in a mentor program like Boys and Girls Clubs of America. In addition, hospitals if %9 cf A ee = wee aa. aS CC — @ and senior centers are always searching for young energetic people to spend time with residents or patients.
