Be selective when you look for a job and
you could come up trumps !
Local Paper
Work a few hours a week for the local paper
inserting those color sales flyers. It is
late-night work, but easy and pay is okay.
Maybe your local paper has the same need?
Grading Tests
grading
standardized tests. If there's a place near
you that does this they'll probably advertise
in local newspapers and on buses like the
one here did. This is seasonal work, though
Library Work
What
about part time shifts at a library?
Deliver Papers
Newspapers
always want people to deliver the papers.
You need a working car and it takes place
in the early morning, but the work's hardly
what you'd call difficult. One unexpected
bonus is that by 7 AM you're already done,
and you can do other things (look for more/different/better
jobs?) with the rest of the day.
Valet
How
about Valet. If you don't have a problem with
running and being outside, it's laid back,
very flexible with hours, and they don't expect
you to be with them forever. You could make
$10 - $15 / hr.
Additionally,
if you're clean cut and well spoken you can
usually get staffed at a nice restraunt or
some such, which many people I know have used
to make contacts with businessmen. You might
be surprised at what you can tell about a
person when you're allowed inside their vehicle.
Shifts
generally don't run more than 6 hours, consisting
of lunch and dinner shifts. This allows you
to either work from 10-11am until 2-3pm, or
dinner from 5pm until 10-12pm. You can make
your own hours up till 1-2 weeks in advance,
and if you need time off on short notice,
they generally won't care as long as you get
a live body there.
Data
Entry
Find something freelance on Elance- data entry
projects can pay well.
Bank Teller.
Good pay and benefits. Pretty mindless and
stress-free, but not completely drudgery.
Deliver
Pizza
If
you have a vehicle you could deliver pizza.
Work a Friday night, 5 until midnight or 1am,
and leave with $120+ cash in your pocket.
2 or 3 shifts a week and you will have plenty
of money. Different places will have different
methods of payment but you should be able
to find one that pays cash daily.
Also,
this was easy work. As long as you can read
a map and can think fast, you'd be fine.
Video
Store
Work
at a video store - how hard can that be?
Carpark
Attendant
One
of those cash takers/ticket stampers at a
not-too-busy parking lot. One of the best
jobs you can get as you get to sit in an air-conditioned
box and read most of the day. Completely mindless
and stress-free.
Evening Receptionist
An
evening receptionist in a spa during summer.
Very laid back, calm atmosphere. Pays pretty
well too.
Language
Tutoring
If
you speak another language, foreign language
tutoring is a good way to make occasional,
easy cash.
Substitute
Teaching
Substitute
teaching is a favorite low-impact jobs.
Paid Subject
A
paid subject for advertising and product feedback.
Get $100 to go in, listen to three different
commercials and tell them which one you liked
and why. Also product tasting. For beer. Get
$100 and all the beer you want to drink in
an hour.
