Lifeguard

June - August 2019 • McAllen, TX

What I liked

The staff was great to work with and always guaranteed hours. Enjoyed working with kids in the morning, and you can always take a dip when it gets too hot.

What I wish was different

Since they were in the process of new management and changes were taking place, it was unorganized at times, so I wished that I had gotten there when things had already settled and figured out.

Advice

This is a stressful job at times and could be tiring if you do not mentally prepare to always be on guard and to be in the sun for long periods of time.

What I liked

I really enjoyed being able to work with the city and meeting my fellow coworkers. I worked at a summer camp, so I got to work with children and teach them fun activities.

What I wish was different

Nothing, it was a wonderful experience.

Advice

Be ready to work and keep your energy up. Children are a big responsibility and you should be able to keep up with them.
