I think it’s time for my son to start looking for a summer holiday job

a-level student
Reader wants son to get summer job.

Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

This week’s question:
