Cape Cod Summer Job Opportunities
. . . including the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard
BARNSTABLE, Mass. - The
resort areas of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts, and the offshore
islands of Martha's Vineyard and
Nantucket are experiencing a
growing problem in finding
summer employees to properly
service a rapidly expanding
tourist and convention industry.
While seasonal jobs will be
scarce elsewhere this summer,
Cape Cod and the Islands will be
offering over 55,000 good
summer jobs in 1983. Most
require little or nor prior ex
perience.
Because it is impossible to fill
these jobs with local residents,
most of whom make up the year
‘round work force, it is necessary
to draw heavily from other
geographic areas to satisfy this
seasonal need.
As in the past several years, the
Cape Cod Summer Job Bureau
has coordinated an effort to
assemble all pertinent facts on
available summer employment
and has published this informa
tion in a concise directory of
summer job opportunities listing
over 100 categories, some of
which follow:
Lifeguards, swimming instruc
tors, beach maintenance; camp
counselors, craft instructors;
island ferry crews, deep sea
fishing party boats, scenic
railroad crews; yacht clubs,
marina work, sailing instructors,
charter cruises, scuba diving,
salvange work, etc.; resort
hotels, food service, restaurants,
culinary, bartenders, waitress/
waiter.
Also, summer police (uniform-
ed), security guards;
groundswork, property
maintenance, greenskeeping;
carpentry, house painting; tennis
and golf instructors; tutoring,
governess, live-in helpers, etc.;
summer stock theatre, stage
hands; musicians, band
members; retail sales - gift and
antique shops; museum and
aquarium staff; airport per
sonnel;
Also, taxi drivers and
chauffeurs; hospital work,
nurse’s aids, etc; auction houses;
kiosk rentals for selling, own
crafts; fast food & baker per
sonnel; fishing and shellfish
industries; newspaper work (cir
culation, etc.); and secretarial/
clerical positions.
Hiring has already started in
many job categories.
The sole function of the Cape
Cod Summer Job Bureau is to
make available the names and
addresses of local employers
who hire extra summer help,
with job descriptions and
numbers of employees needed
in each category, and a useful
cross-reference map of the area.
The Job Bureau is not an employ
ment agency, and therefore
charges no fees to employers or
employees.
Included in the directory is a
listing of summertime
educational opportunities,
academic courses for college
credit, as well as cultural classes
in music, theatre, and the arts.

tory send $2.00 to cover first class
postage and handling to: Cape
Cod Summer Job Bureau, Box

Methodological Note
Raters were asked to
evaluate the faculty quality of
each school as distinguished,
strong, good, acceptable, Or
marginal. The distinguished
category was coded 1, and the
codes increased so that
marginal departments were
coded 5. The raters were then
asked to evaluate educational
attractiveness by indicating
that a school was very attrac
tive, attractive, acceptable, or
not attractive. The very attrac
tive designation was coded 1,
with codes increasing up to 4
for not attractive.
The average rating for
faculty quality was calculated
from all responses to that
question. Unanimity of belief
that a school’s faculty was
distinguished would have
resulted in a score of 1; and if
it were judged marginal, it
would be rated 5. The average
rating on educational attrac
tiveness was calculated in the
same manner, but the range
of possible average scores was
1 (highest) to 4 (lowest).
The combined score is the
sum of the scores for faculty
quality and educational at
tractiveness for individuals
who responded to both
questions. Hence the range of
values for the combined
scores was between 2 and 9.
Since raters evaluating a
school's educational attrac
tiveness extremely negatively
cannot give a 5, but those with
extreme negative evaluations
of faculty quality can give a 5,
the negative effect of very low
educational attractiveness is
slightly dampened. In other
words, schools with minimal
levels of faculty quality and
average levels of educational
attractiveness will look worse
in combined score (7.5) than
will a school with minimal
educational attractiveness
and average faculty quality
(7.0). However, since we are
more concerned with schools
whicha re highly rated
(presumably those with very
few of the lowest ratings), and
since the total number of
raters is large, the results
published here are not
significantly affected by the
differing ranges of values in
the two rating questions.
