When you get laid off or perhaps looking for that second job, you need to have a place to start looking. If you aren't looking for a career, but rather was a real part time hourly gig, you need to consider how many hours a week you want to work and what type of work you want. Here's how to find that job fast!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Start by checking the local newspaper. This is the basic source for those looking to hire and is extremely viable in smaller towns. If the newspaper has a website, check there too!

  2. Step 2

    Always keep your eye out for those 'help wanted' signs hanging around the town. These are found in smaller establishments and bring simple jobs to your attention.

  3. Step 3

    Check online at craigslist.org. These days finding a job, even part time, has gone techno. So being able to see what there might be available, right now, is a great resource. When responding to these ads, make sure you write to them just as you would in a physical job setting (no one line emails.)

  4. Step 4

    Check online at the employment websites. Places like Monster.com have careers listed (with a few part time gigs as well.) The sources for part time - hourly work is SnagAJob.com. Here you will find plenty of places looking for folks to start immediately.
