Where can I find a part-time weekend job?

You can ask from your relatives, friends and colleagues if they heard or know any company that is currently hiring part-time employees, and get help from them by referring you (that is, if they know someone or is somewhat connected to the company). However if you don't have connections that can help, try applying in person. Walk through your local town or the mall and you'll see Help Wanted signs in many storefront windows. If you don't see a sign, ask about openings. The same scenario applies to resort or seasonal employment. Applying in person is often the best mechanism for finding a job.

Students should visit their High School Guidance office or college Career Services and Student Employment offices to get listings of local part-time opportunities.

Part-Time Job Search Online

Start your online job search by visiting the sites that focus on part-time job opportunities. Searching Snagajob.com by type of position and location will generate a list of openings. There's also a list of national employers that hire part-time workers. Check the other part-time job sites as well. That way, you will review a broad spectrum of potential opportunities. Visit the niche sites for industries like retail and hospitality that typically hire part-time workers. Then, search the job banks using "part-time", "part time" or "part time job" as keywords. Also search by the category of employment you're interested in. This will generate some more leads. Don't forget to check the Employment Services job listings for your state and the Help Wanted ads in your newspaper. Many papers have a separate section for part-time jobs. Small local papers like the Penny saver usually have listings too.

Flip through the yellow pages

Looking through the Yellow Pages can give you a perfect idea of the types of businesses there are in your area. If something looks interesting, all you have to do is call the number and ask if they are hiring. They will be able to tell you what you should do to go about getting a job with their company.

Start your own business part time.

Be creative and start a business of your own. That doesn't mean going out and buying your own car factory. It just means finding a service that your community needs and using your talents and "smarts" to make it happen. This could be mowing lawns in the summer or even your own computer programming business. There is no better way to show your initiative and leadership skills than to create a business yourself!
