Find a Part-Time Job
Not all jobs have to be full-time and intense. If you're looking
for a bit of extra cash, why not take on a job that's fun and
nearly hassle-free?
Market research companies are always looking to add consumers
just like you to their database. Sign up with as many market
research companies as you can in order to increase your chance
of attending focus groups or one-on-one surveys. Groups usually
last anywhere from half an hour to two hours and can range in
pay anywhere from $50 to $200 cash. You can search online in
many great places for focus groups and for market research
companies. Even if you don't qualify for what they're looking
for immediately, forward your information and sign up with them
anyway! You might be surprised at the amount of groups you may
qualify for in the future!
Do you need a flexible job with hours that can fit into your
schedule? Perhaps you should look into providing personal
services, such as pet sitting, babysitting, or personal
assistance. The hours are usually flexible, and the individuals
needing this service tend to be very understanding about your
demanding schedule. For a part-time job, a personal service job
tends to be good paying.
Are you a student? There are many employers that will hire a
student simply because they're majoring in a related field of
study. You won't have to go through tons of interviews and wait
weeks or months to start a part-time position. It is a good
opportunity to get hands-on training in your chosen career path,
and will look good on a resume when you graduate. Some companies
offer employment on a semester to semester basis.
Looking for something that's fun? Try a part-time job with the
park district or the zoo. Maybe you can find part-time work on a
film set, or as an extra! You might find yourself in a movie one
day!
Temp agencies will send you to various companies to help out
with mass mailings and other marketing projects, should you ask
for this type of work. These are usually fun and easy! There are
other temporary employment opportunities as well, but the great
thing about being a temp is that you have the option to accept
or decline an assignment and you can work as much or as little
as you need.
Promotional work can be very profitable for working only a few
days each month. The work is usually fun and exciting and you'll
end up working on some really interesting and unique promotions
and events.
A part-time job doesn't have to be boring and it doesn't have to
involve fast food. It can be an entertaining and enjoyable
experience!
