Full list of summer jobs that pay up to £20 an hour and you don't need a degree
SUMMER might almost be gone, but there are still plenty of opportunities to make some extra cash. New data from Adzuna has revealed the top-paying seasonal roles where you can earn as much as £20 an hour. 1 Most require minimal training too, so you can start bagging cash without delay. Lee Biggins, chief executive officer of CV-Library, said: "Seasonal jobs are a smart move in a shaky job market - whether you're a graduate, topping up your income, between roles, keeping your skills fresh, or testing out a new industry. "With some big earners in the mix, summer work can help you build contacts, boost your experience and prove to bosses you're proactive. "It's also a great way to stay busy before something more permanent comes along in autumn - usually the busiest time for hiring." Adzuna has compiled a list of 36 temporary and seasonal roles and their advertised salaries in July. Coming out on top of its list is sommelier, paying as much as £20.27 an hour. Sommeliers are wine experts who work in fine dining restaurants or vineyards, pairing wines with certain meals or offering tasting sessions. You may need to do some training to become one though, such as a paid-for course. The UK Sommelier Association runs seven-day courses for around £750. Next on the list is watersports coach - someone who instructs individuals or groups how to do water-based activities like sailing, windsurfing and kayaking - it pays around £19.03 an hour. I quit my job and sold everything to live in a storm-damaged £6k boat - I just wanted to do what I want, when I want You can become one through a paid-for course - just bear in mind they can be expensive. However, if you're already trained as one, it could be worth trying to get some work before the summer is over. Next on the list is another water-based job - swimming teacher. You can get £18.38 an hour in this role. There are two routes into becoming a swimming teacher - via an apprenticeship or by training with a professional body. You can apply to do a Leisure Team Member Level 2 Intermediate Apprenticeship, for example. Next on the list is landscape gardener, which pays £18.27 an hour - ideal if you're looking to top up your tan and bank balance. You can get a job as a landscape gardener via a college course or apprenticeship. Top-paying summer jobs where you don't need qualifications While some of the best-paying summer jobs do require you to have some form of qualification, even if its minimal, others don't. For example, you could get paid as much as £16.47 per hour this summer to work as a window cleaner. Meanwhile, you can earn £15.79 an hour getting work as a post room clerk. Receptionists can bag £15.46 an hour, shop assistants £15.12 and concierges £16.62. Just remember, when looking for any type of role to do your research. There are types jobs that draw on similar skills but pay much more than others. For example, pension administrators can earn more than arts administrators and basic admin assistants. If you're looking for a summer job, it's worth trawling through jobs boards like Indeed, Reed and LinkedIn to find one that pays best. You can try contacting recruitment agencies who will be able to signpost you to roles suited to your skills too. How to smash an interview LEE Biggins, from CV-Library, gives his top tips for nailing that all-important job interview. "To smash any job interview, start by doing your homework - research the company, prepare solid answers, and think about how your past experience links to the new role. "Whatever your age or background, employers want to see a willingness to learn, passion for the role and industry and an adaptability to thrive. "This matters even more when switching careers. "Show the employer you're eager, driven, and ready to get stuck in. "Make sure your CV is well tailored to the role and highlights your transferrable skills and proves why your experience makes you a great fit. "Remember, you're up against people already in the industry, so come prepared with industry knowledge and a fresh perspective may set you apart." Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Wichita employers see rise in seasonal job seekers amid rising costs
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A local business and nonprofit are reporting an uptick in workers looking for seasonal jobs. One operations manager that KSN spoke with attributes the trend to the rising cost of everyday goods. Andrew Haffner is the operational manager for Parking Company of America in Wichita. 'One of the fastest parking companies in America did this season is that we worked, the Interest Bank Arena in the NCAA tournament,' he said. Haffner says seasonal work has many benefits, including filling employment gaps. 'It also allows the person, if it's just temporary work, it allows them to get a little extra income,' he said. Religious statue bashed outside of clinic in Wichita This is why the South YMCA sees more seasonal workers applying earlier than in past years. 'And so that's been exciting because there is a lot of training that has to happen prior to being employed and so this has given us a little bit more wiggle room to get ready for opening day for camp water parks, things like that,' Kasey Williams, the senior program director for the South YMCA, said. Williams says some teens want to help support their parents with some expenses. 'We have found a lot more people looking for second jobs, so already working but they have, you know, 15, 20 hours that they would like to give to us as well seasonally,' she said. This growing trend reflects how some workers are adapting to a more challenging financial landscape. 'There's multiple employers in Wichita in the surrounding areas that are looking for seasonal workers, especially when school is getting out,' said Haffner. For more Kansas news, click here.
