High school and college students in search of seasonal work face tougher competition this summer from older job seekers because of the recession. You can stand out in these ways:
Be "Google"-ready. Create a professional online résumé (try visualcv.com). You can enhance your résumé with photos, video or graphics highlighting work experience, academic achievements, volunteer work and any teacher recommendations. Clean up your Facebook and Twitter accounts and your blog if you will link to them.
Be persistent. Always carry paper résumés; you never know who you'll meet. Scour websites like hotjobs.yahoo.com, SnagAJob.com and Sittercity.com, and be sure to check with your college's career center...
