Getting a "good" job involves in three steps.

1. building a possitive attitude and this means knowing where you are heading.
2. building your marketability and this includes getting experience and making good resume.
3. the last step which most people notice is knowing where, when, and how to look for a job.

The first step which is the most improtant step is identifying yourself and knowing what kind of job you are looking for. This is very important even if the job you are looking for is a summer job or a part-time job. If you identify why you are looking for a job, then everything else will become allot easier for you.

if you are a student there are two things why you probably want to get a summer job, It is most likely that you are looking for experience and some extra cash. Most students overlook the experience part and as a result they pay too much attention to the money side.
the reason why it is important to get experience is that you need to be looking at the long future. it is better to take a job that pays $100 per week which provides good experience that a job that will pay $400 that will not get you any experience. The reason is that experience pays you back later especially when it comes to identifying your future goal. However this is not always the case because many students happen to need money badly due to the increase in the university expenses over the years, so if you have to take a job for it's pay take it.
