Summer Job in New Orleans?

[rosetree]

Hey local Threadheads!
Does anyone know of a summer job for a smart, hard-working, prompt, responsible, high school graduate???
Rosebud (Marcy) just graduated from Cabrini HS and has been looking for a summer job before she goes off to college. She has retail experience and works well with people.
If anyone has or heard of a job, please let me know...
Thanks :D

Rosetree Glass Studio isnt hiring?

[Zydekitten]

Well, I myself am looking for a regular, year-round job . . . but if I come across any interesting Summer job postings in my searches, I'll be sure to let you know, Rosy.

[festivalgirl]

Sorry if this is obvious but has she checked out Niketown next to Rock n Bowl? They must need a pretty large staff.

Working for Mom and Dad is OK, and she has done it, we want her to get some more experience outside of the studio. ;)

[Staxsun]

Hard to find much from up here, but I do see the the STEP is hiring for the Corps of Engineers.

figured as much ... get her in the real world where NO LENIANCY will be displayed

[drdennis]

my usual advice to job hunters: everyone is hiring. some just don't know it yet. just figure out what you want to do and where you want to do it ...then show employers why they can't afford not to hire you.

RT-
Has she looked on Craigslist? Alot of employers use them because it's free to post an ad.

Not a lot there...I check it often. :(
It seems like summer jobs are by word of mouth, so that's why I gave it a shot here!;)

[i wanna be in NOLA]

My graduating HS senior got a summer position at our local Pier 1. She cold called and they had her come in for an interview even though they weren't officially hiring. They called her back the next week and she's now working about 25-30 hours per week.

[papafrog]

Jacquemos is always extremely busy...
as are many of the restaurants in the area on carrolton st....
good luck

I still maintain that restaurant jobs are excellent ... great social atmosphere, learn to deal with people, and the best money you can make at that age

[Staxsun]

This really wasn't a smartass comment. I understand if you wouldn't want her to work for them, but the Fed govt. has a variety of these summer programs. It stands for Summer Temporary Employment Program. They hire students from late high school to college. They usually are clerical indoors things (not deciding how tall the levees should be).

...(not deciding how tall the levees should be).


Are you positive about that?

I havent waded through all these posts so if it has been posted already, I apologize.

LMAO...will definitely find my way to the Marigny for several events and fun times for sure...good to hear that you are planning to make the move..or should I say move back, right? Good luck yourself

[Zydekitten]

And you can come even a wee bit farther and boogie in the Bywater at Vaughan's, Markey's, Bud Rips, the Bywater Art Market, Elizabeth's, and Bacchanal . . . we'd love to have you visit from Uppitytown, er, um, I mean Uptown ;) :D

The Uptown move has nothing to do with learing at the coeds?

Actually, no. But it did play a part of why the University neighborhoods are on the list.

Call to Artists: Changing Landscapes Residency Application

The world's natural and built environments are endangered and the need to seriously engage contemporary thinking about these disappearing landscapes through the creation of art is of paramount importance. ASITW envisions this as a powerful context for the exploration of critical thinking, the development of new ideas and strategies, and using the creative process as a catalyst for social change.

With this in mind, we invite artists to submit applications to our inaugural environmental residency series entitled Changing Landscapes, addressing the ecological challenges exemplified by Southern Louisiana. The call is open to artists of all disciplines who have demonstrated an established dialogue with environmental issues and a commitment to seeking and plowing new ground. Artists are invited to design their own interface with the public and are encouraged to propose ways to engage the larger community of New Orleans and beyond.

Recipients will be given $3500 as a stipend and $1500 towards materials. ASITW covers costs associated with room and board including food, utilities for living and studio space. Residents are expected to cover personal living expenses, additional materials and supplies, telephone charges, and any other expenses relating to the cost of producing work incurred while in the program. Travel and shipping expenses to and from ASITW for the residency are also the responsibility of the artist.

Three 6-week residencies are to be offered between November 2008 and April 2009. The deadline for submissions is August 4, 2008. Please click the link below to access the application or send an email to applications@astudiointhewoods.org for more information.

Changing Landscape Residencies are funded in part by the Ford Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
