If I'm going away for 6 days in July, can I still get a summer job?

I'm a college student with no work experience, and I could really use some extra money for books, food, etc. next year. I've been trying to find a summer job, but I'm going away for 6 days in the middle of July (an aunt offered me and a friend 6 days free in a disney hotel, which would have cost around $1000 I think) and this seems to be getting in the way of me getting hired.

Is there anywhere that would be willing to hire someone with no work experience going away for 6 days? I can only take a summer job--I'll be leaving home for college at the very end of August. I've been trying to stay away from fast food, but I would be willing to work there if I cant find anywhere else.

Thanks!

You can probably get a job in retail. Most stores hire seasonal employees.

When I was 17 and had almost no work experience (I had had 1 under the table job), I was hired at PacSun even though I was gone for a week in July.

Go to the mall and ask everyone if they're hiring. If they are, apply! Don't say anything about going on vacation unless there's a spot for it on the application.

Try restraunt work: wait or buss tables or as a host/greeter. They are used to summer hires and have enough people on staff to be more flexible. Also, when you apply for the job, regardless of where it is, don't tell them that you need the time off in July. Wait until about a week or two before you go on your trip. Something could come up and that trip could get pushed back or canceled.
