The hospitality industry has high employee turnover and an abundance of seasonal positions, which means plenty of job opportunities, says Jacobson. She suggests calling hotels in the area to see if there are any openings for bellhops, concierges, or desk clerks. Many positions require no experience and often serve as first jobs; in fact, some 20 percent of workers at hotels and other lodging places were younger than 25 in 2008, compared with about 13 percent for all industries, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
