Applying for seasonal employment means applying for a job that depends on a particular season or time of year. Which of the following situations is the best example of applying for seasonal employment?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Maria makes an appointment with a resort manager about the summer waiter’s job advertised in the local newspaper.
The situation must have two parts: a job that depends on a season, and a person applying for it.
In Option (3) the job is for summer only, and Maria is applying for it by meeting the resort manager.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) The ski instructors at a ski school work from December to March every year. — Incorrect. The instructors already have seasonal jobs; nobody is applying.
Option (2) Mark prefers jobs that allow him to work outdoors. — Incorrect. It is only Mark’s preference; there is no seasonal job and no application.
Option (4) Ram’s ice-cream shop stays open until 11 p.m. in the summer months. — Incorrect. Longer shop hours in summer are not an application for a job.
