Does the fun start when you arrive? Do you randomly burst into song in public places?

Would your friends describe you as smiley, creative, responsible and an all‑around team player?

Do you long for an outdoor summer job instead of being stuck in the mall?

Do you want to be guaranteed free weeknights & weekends to hang out with friends?
