Part time job for school breaks and weekends
Hi! I work in the main office of a school on a year round schedule. Unfortunately I am only a 185 days employee so every 9 weeks or so, I get a 2 week break with no pay. Same for the 8 weeks in summer.
I am 24 turning 25 and desperately trying to fix my finances to move out (i moved back home to indy after traveling for 2.5 years doing seasonal work) of my parents house by August. Unfortunately I only make around $1000 every two weeks. I try to pick up shifts working the sporting events but they are not always available/in season. Sometimes more than 1k, sometimes less if there’s a random holiday we are off for.
Allll of that being said, I’d like to find a way to make enough to split an apartment with a roommate. I need to make more than $3500 a month to feel comfortable doing this. I applied at a few serving jobs and waiting to hear back but any other suggestions? I’m fine with a serving job or bartending but I have no experience with restaurants besides Starbucks a few years back. And Culvers in high school!
I get out of work at 3:30p M-F so a 4:30-10:30 on weekdays and open availability on weekends. I did find a park job for the summer with a similar schedule M-F so my part time availability will be the same during the 8 week summer break.
Thanks for reading and let me know where I could look besides Indeed!! (Indeed only shows me pages and pages of the same jobs and they are never relevant to my resume). It’s embarrassing to be 24 and living at home but man every single thing is so expensive. I’m probably not even going to be able to furnish my half of the apartment but at least I will feel proud of having my own place!
