go to school or have more time to themselves. These kinds of jobs are
also a way to earn supplemental income throughout the year or on a
temporary basis during the holidays. Whether you already have a job and
you want to work part-time to supplement your income, or you just need
extra money for the holidays, we have some suggestions for jobs that may
suit your needs.
Part-time Seasonal and Supplemental Jobs
Before you start your search,
consider the following:
- Use a reliable part-time jobs
website to initiate your search, do research, and ask questions before
applying.
- Seasonal and long-term
part-time jobs are two different things--make sure you are clear about
what you are looking for and what the potential employer is offering.
- Find out how much scheduling
flexibility there is with your part-time employer and consider how much
free time you actually have available. This is especially important if
your current job has commitments that require you to work late or on
weekends.
- Use your areas of expertise or hobbies
to point you in the direction of a second job that may interest you. If
you will be taking on extra work hours, it's best to be doing something
you actually enjoy.
