Philly job hunters, get ready to hit the ground running—or swimming, or supervising—if you're on the lookout for some sun-splashed employment this summer because the Philadelphia Parks & Recreation’s job fair is just around the corner. Slated for April 13, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dell Music Center, those eager to land a gig can find out about seasonal opportunities directly from the grassy source, as per the city's official announcement.
Kids just outta school, college breakers or anyone merely looking for that summer hustle, listen up: there are a variety of openings in the offing including lifeguards, seasonal maintenance attendants, and camp staff, alongside youth employment and seasonal Park Ranger positions, because what’s better than soaking in the sun while pocketing some cool cash and still there’s a rain date set for April 20, in case Mother Nature decides to throw a curveball.
The enticing gigs aren’t just about getting a suntan—they’re stepping stones for the youths' future. Plying your trade at pools, parks, playgrounds, and recreation centers, you get to squirrel away job skills, pile work experience high, muse over different career paths and meet new comrades—no small perks in today's gig economy.
And it’s not just Parks & Rec bringing the jobs; Rita's Italian Ice will be scooping potential offers, Local 332 will be laying out their blueprints for employment and Net Center will be networking, offering attendees more than one avenue to strut down on their career path; and hey, who doesn't love the idea of foisting an ice-cold lemonade on a sweltering Philly day.
