How does one find a job with specific hours?

Job searching

I work from 5am to 2pm and I'm looking for a part-time job from 3pm-8pm or somewhere around that shift. It seems that all retail jobs scoff at that and I can't find any warehouse work that will even answer my emails inquiring about shifts. I'm not interested in Uber or any similar services because I hear the pay sucks. Any suggestions?

OP works their regular job at 5 a.m. I doubt they want to work till 11 p.m. and no retail store I know of would have an afternoon shift that doesn't work till close especially if you're the newbie

Retail these days pretty much turns down anything that isn’t 24/7 availability, unless they are looking specifically to fill a certain shift

Retail is notorious for screwing with their employees hours.

If you like kids you can work as an ABA therapist and work with children with autism, downs syndrome and other disabilities. Some places only require a highschool degree. That time works perfect for most parents because it's after school.

My son is autistic and gets six hours of ABA therapy through a medical facility, think daycare but at 75 an hour. To qualify for insurance coverage I think a minimum associate degree is required by the therapist and they must be supervised by someone with a BCBA and that requires a graduate to receive from the certifying board.

I’m assuming it is different for other states besides the requirements the board has.

Former ABA Therapist here...

ABA IS NOT like daycare, it is far more involved and requires a specific personality and skill set. You will need lots of experience with children, specific Autism experience, and training/knowledge of discrete trials. You will also only be able to work under a licensed BCBA.

Most companies will not assign the therapist unless a supervisor is already assigned. Basic ABA training is provided before therapists are put in the field. I have been working in ABA for 3 years and the new hires at my company have history with children (babysitting, etc.) but most are still in college to get their bachelor's, or work part time. It's a very fulfilling job but required lots of patience. I work in southern California, it may be different in other states.

A lot of our drivers at Pizza Hut work similar shifts. It covers the dinner rush but doesn’t go all the way to close.

I am a caregiver and I work all hours. Also I do suicide watch as a sitter at a local hospital. I am always busy. Pay hasn't been great but I do enjoy my work.

Hospitals hire tons of second shift jobs, usually 3-11pm

OP likely will not want to work till 11pm since he works at 5am.

Child care/after school pick up fits those hours!

1
mk-kassandra•

Second this. We actually have a really hard time finding people to work those hours. Go for childcare!!

The Starbucks inside Kroger closes at 8pm and they work around student's schedules so they might be worth an inquiry.

True but they work with the specific hours OP was asking for, which as far as I know are gonna be limited options.

Any kind of after school program, like tutoring, academics, sports, etc.

That is around the dinner shift at senior living complex. Not a nursing home where they take all the meals in a common area, but a place with apartments for seniors which include kitchens.

ellajames88•

I was going to say this as well. A dinner shift at a retirement home or nursing home would be a good idea, either in the kitchen or serving.

Can confirm. This is what I do. If you can get into the right place it pays very well. 3-8 is ALWAYS the shift range, although they're sometimes 3, 4 or 5 hour shifts.

The key to actually making money with such short shifts is making sure they line up perfectly with your other job and aren't too far away from your home.

Great suggestion here. A very nice senior living place (correct, not nursing home) that I know well, has a beautiful dining room. They are chronically understaffed.

Also dinner shift at colleges and universities.

Hotels!

Bumping hotels. They will work with whatever schedule.

How do you get a job at a hotel with no experience?

1
its6amsomewhere•

Front desk or bellmen will pretty much hire anyone with a good attitude. And if you can prove smarts for front desk as well.

Thanks! More meant I have been applying online, and I'm usually told to go away if I drop off a resume in person because that's weird nowadays

1
its6amsomewhere•

Yeah. All the major hotels have jobs on their website, and they usually post to indeed as well. (I'm assuming USA)

Don't they get worked to the ground?

I work forklift at fedex, its surprisingly easy work, don't do much physical labor either

Nice. I was talking about drivers, because I heard they were constantly under pressure to deliver.

Food places usually are flexible but hostess jobs I’ve seen are even more flexible.

1
totesmegotez•

I second this. Cook, waiter/waitress, bartender etc. More entry level would be host/hostess, dishwasher, busser. Usually get tips too so that’s a plus

Grocery stores. Those were basically my exact hours during the week when I was in high school. That’s when they get their rush.

Bank teller?

Most grocery stores can do it or maybe a bar?

You could learn to teach English online, starting at £25 per hour to students in China and Russia. Those time zones might work for you. Have a Google for "how to teach English online"...

Also consider online tutoring in any high school subjects that you're proficient in.

Get you guard card and become a security guard.
