From the Back Cover:
Summer Jobs in Britain lists over 30,000 exciting vacancies in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland for the summer of 2005 including not only paid jobs and voluntary work but also vacation traineeships which give on-the-job work experience relevant to a possible future career.
To help readers decide whether a job is right for them the book explains when and to whom to apply; gives information on wages (up to $400 per week); when the work is available; covers what previous experience, if any, is required; if there are age limits; and whether accommodations are provided and at what cost. It also includes tips on work permits; including the Work in Britain scheme for American students; information on taxation, and the British national minimum wage. In addition, for people who want to work in a particular part of the country, the book's regional chapters are preceded by introductions that explain the possibilities for finding work in that area.
Opportunities featured in Summer Jobs in Britain include: vacation traineeships and internships at leading firms, Sherlock Holmes look-a-likes and Victorian maids in London, EFL teachers across Britain, television and film extras, animal keepers at London Zoo, tour guides for the Glenfiddich Distillery in Scotland, television and film extras, and many more.
