A Creative
Job Plan
|
|
A good first step toward a part-time job is to talk with people
at your college. This includes visiting the financial aid office
and the departments that hire larger numbers of students,
such as admissions, housing, food services, and libraries.
Also, make certain your professors know you're looking
for work. Then, think about your interests and skills and
start offering your services-even if a job isn't advertised.
Consider these ideas, which include some self-employment
ideas:
- If you're a computer whiz, perhaps you could work
part-time providing tech support.
- Some college campuses and businesses hire desk
attendants to ensure only authorized people enter a
building-especially at night. Between checking in
visitors, you may have quiet time to study.
- If you enjoy Web sites and know how to update content,
you could contact businesses about helping them update
their sites. Many small companies often don't have a
webmaster on staff. Perhaps you could handle the
company's social networking site and blog on the
company's behalf.

- If you're interested in finance, consider becoming a
part-time teller. Many bank tellers work part time.
- If you're good with kids and they don't tire you out too
much, consider offering babysitting services.
- If you were raised to believe that a clean home is a happy
home, consider cleaning homes. Working people often
need help-as do companies that take over foreclosed
homes.
- If you like to spend every spare moment in the gym, look
into becoming a fitness room attendant. You could teach
equipment orientation classes and make certain people
use machines correctly. (You'll probably need to take a
first aid/CPR class before you are hired.)
