Randall Said:

Should high school work experience be placed on a college-level resume? Even if it was only seasonal?

We Answered:

It really depends on your other work experience. It won't hurt to put it on there and it does show that you've had a certain level of responsibility for a while. Considering you are still in college looking for a job, I can't imagine you have THAT much work experience, so I would put it on there.

high school work experience?

We Answered:

Veterinary practices? They often have rooming kennels / catteries attached for the animals to prepare or recover from procedures and they find it useful to have an extra pair of hands around for that.

Check out the arts venues and groups as well, they often take work experience students

This gives a few other ideas

Some of my lot took work experience with a friend of the family. It was away from home and gave them the chance to have a real rounded experience. Our friends gave them a spare room so accommodation wasn't a problem. And I wasn't there...so no nagging! One did it in a legal firm and another was in a touristy area in a bookshop.
Does your family have interesting friends/ relatives?!

Horticultural firms often take people, so you could do lots of outdoor work and keep fit + get a tan at the same time.
Does your council take w.e. students on in their parks or leisure centres?
Theatres?
Cinemas?
Art's studios?
Comedy venues?
Hospitals?
Centres that hire studios out for photographers might well offer w.e.?

Hope this helps
