Both retirees and 9-to-5ers in need of a side income often seek part-time seasonal work to earn extra cash. Fortunately, local and nationwide businesses are always hiring temporary seasonal employees. Here’s a few of the best seasonal jobs and opportunities available.
Shoveling out the neighbors’ driveways is an option, but a better angle is municipal snow removal subcontracting. When big blizzards hit, towns and cities across the nation need part-time help to man the snowblowers and clean up the streets.
Accounting firms often hire IRS registered tax return preparers from January through April. You’ll need to pass an exam to earn your Preparer Tax Identification Number, but anyone with a working knowledge of tax laws and bookkeeping should be able to do it.
Temping for a catering service during the holiday party season is an easy way to earn loads of extra money. Holiday season tips tend to be fairly generous, and anybody can tend bar or wait tables with a minimum of experience.
Amazon
One of the most reliable seasonal jobs out there is holiday staffing at Amazon. The online retailer and deal broker hires some 50,000 people a year during the winter holidays to fill stocking, shipping and clerical positions.
UPS
Like Amazon, UPS frequently hires extra help to handle the surge in shipments and deliveries that come with the holiday season. Even package handlers in the warehouse earn above-average wages, and experience isn’t usually a factor in the hiring decision.
Landscaping
During the warm summer months, many landscaping contractors see a major increase in business as homeowners get their property in order. Landscaping requires little skill or experience, and it can pay quite well under the right circumstances.
Concert and Event Staff
Another great summer opportunity is concert and event staffing. Big festivals, minor or major league sports events and concerts need part-time employees to direct traffic, take tickets and run the till.
Theme Park Worker
Every region has either a Six Flags or a reasonable facsimile thereof that sees most of its business in the summer. Picking up a job as a lifeguard, ticket taker or parking lot attendant is reasonably easy.
Tutor
The end of the school year provides ample opportunities for SAT preparation and final exam tutoring. If you have professional experience in nearly any area, you can find students who are willing to shell out decent money to be privately tutored.
The positions outlined above are a good start, but there are plenty of other jobs out there that you’re probably overlooking. With a bit of creative thinking, you can make a healthy side income working seasonally part-time.
