Subject: Summer jobs

What opportunities are there for summertime jobs in the Outer Banks area, especially among stores and restaurants? If so, does anyone have any contact information? (I'm looking ahead, but this would POSSIBLY be for summer of 2007.) THANKS!

They hire like crazy. Get here and just go door to door. They will want to see you and fill out an application so you can't do much before you get here. Every place hires a few people in summer. You are a little late and that may hurt you.

Thanks for the info, although I'm from Pennsylvania and this would be for next summer. Again, thanks - at least now I have somewhere to start!

Yea, get here in May and run around and do applications. The calls WILL come before you get here. Your biggest problem will be a place to live. A job(or 2) is easy!!

Posted By: local,

this is very incorrect, the truth is that there really aren’t that many good jobs on the outer banks, i think you should expect to work at a restaurants doing dishes or waiting tables, there is a lot of seniority at these restaurants and allot of people that are going to be pissed that some rich kid from the north wants to take their tips, because obxer's don’t vacation, we live here.

I don't want to steal any tips but I live in Ohio and need to get out of here ASAP. I am very familiar with the Outer Banks especially Hatteras Frisco and Buxton and am currently trying to find a job somewhere or anywhere in OBX.Does anyone have any suggestions?

Don't seek employment here. Visit for a weekend, go home and come back next year.

Really? Why do you need to work here so badly? Can't you people just be satisfied with vacationing here and leave us some of our own local jobs?

You locals really seem to make people who enjoy the Outer Banks being to hate the Outer Banks. You're attitude sickens me.

I was born and raised in Columbus, OH. And I've come with my family to the OBX for years. I love it! It's like a second home. Don't hate us because we're not fortunate enough to live there year-round. I'm definitley not some spoiled rich kid. And my heart lies at the beach. Explain to me why I should be hated for that.

I just wanted to say that this group of individuals does not represent the general belief of the Outer Banks Locals. Of course it can be difficult finding a job out here, and yes, my fiance' just had a year round job taken out from under her by summer employment. But the thing this group doesn't realize is that we would not even have opportunities for jobs if it wasn't for people visiting (yes even long-term summer) from out of town.

But yes, there are many places to look for jobs, try the individual businesses, they really help. And to look for a job as a lifeguard, in KDH and Nags Head they are closely affiliated with the Fire department, just look up the FD numbers online.

And remind the belligerent locals that if it weren't for visitors, we'd hardly have jobs aside from the fishing industry.

Wow...I just visited the OBX for my first time and fell in Love with it!! I plan on moving there someday and hate to think that I would not be wanted there. You all are very Lucky to have been born there and have such a beautiful place to live and if it wasnt for people coming to the OBX then your unemployment line would be very very long....Cheer up you live on the ocean and their is plenty of room for others to enjoy it!!
