Summer is all about the sun, fun and beach parties. It's a time when you have a chance to relax and forget about college. Summer is also a great season to start looking for your dream job.
Discover your skills and talents. Many people look for a job without knowing what talents they have and what skills they can offer their employers (雇主). If you don't know what skills you can offer your possible employer yet, try to discover them. Even if you don't have a lot of experience, when you are sure you can do something pretty well, believe in yourself.
Use your connections. Whatever your connections, consider them when you are looking for your summer job. This way, you can find your job faster and be sure that you'll get your paycheck on time. If you don't have any connections, don't worry. I got my job without them, though it was a bit tough.
Keep it short. When writing your resume (个人简历), make sure it's not too long. Don't lie about your skills. Adding in a degree you never completed or a skill you know you won't be able to get in a week is a certain way to fail.
Be friendly. A positive attitude is the key to success. When you look friendly and you are actually friendly, the others notice that. Most employers say that it's always better to hire a positive beginner than a negative professional. When going to a job interview, forget all your problems and focus on the positive things to make a good first impression.
A. Dream about the final result you'll get.
B. Don't send applications at random (随便地).
C. Disappointment won't help you land a good job.
D. Here are some tips on how to find the best summer job.
E. Nowadays most people have landed their jobs thanks to their connections.

On the Mediterranean island of Majorca in Spain, the locals are angry. Too late. In the last quarter of 20th century, they obtained profit from foreign visitors wanting to buy up property on their beautiful island. Suddenly, it occurred to Majorca that the island no longer belonged to them. Its 630,000 inhabitants（居民）are increasingly convinced that the 14 million visitors a year are far too much of a good thing. Water is in short supply, pollution is worsening, and there is no affordable housing left for them to buy.

These days the industry's most urgent question may be how to control the flow of tourist. A typical example of this is Italy, where great cultural centers like the Florence and Venice can't handle all the tourists they get every summer. In Florence, it's half inhabitants have to live with the pollution, traffic jam, and crime caused by 11 million visitors a year. Now there is talk about how to solve these problems, like raising hotel taxes, or even changing admission to some public squares. The idea is to discourage at least some visitors, as well as to pay for cleaning up the mess.

For many poorer countries, tourism may still offer the best hope foe development. The Vietnamese are doing their best to open up their country. Libya has paid $ 1 million for a study. They all wanted tourists. Yet if something isn't done, tourism seems certain to become the victim of its success. Its effect on the environment is a major concern. For this reason, tourist organizations need to have second thoughts about what exactly they are trying to sell.
