How to Find a Local Part Time Job Fast

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
