Looking for Part-Time Jobs on The Internet

Looking for part-time jobs on the Internet is really no different than looking for a full-time job on the Internet. The same basic rules apply- make sure that you have away for employers to contact you that isn't the Internet- voice mail, a cell phone, or an answering machine, for example. You should also be prepared to interview on-the-spot, and you may even be offered employment during your first interview!

Most of the major job search engines have a section for part-time employment, and there are niche job boards that specialize in part-time work, as well. the nice thing about using these boards is that you can generally apply for these sort of hourly positions right from the comfort of your computer desk. Most major retailers - JC Penny and Wal-Mart, for example- have special sections where people looking for hourly positions can apply directly.

Most online applications for part-time work are the same as those for full-time jobs-they will require contact information, education, and employment history, as well as salary information and your availability. Some of these applications will also ask for references.

When looking for a part-time job, it's important to not only look online, but to be observant of your surroundings. Lots of retail stores keep "Employment Wanted"signs in the window when they are looking for help, and you can always ask to speak to a manager if it isn't immediately obvious that the business is hiring. Many smaller employers advertise on Classified sites such as Craigs list, and the printed newspaper is often a good resource when trying to find a part-time job, as well.

Remember, there is help out there too- make sure to utilize free or inexpensive services that provide job search assistance such as your high school guidance office,college student employment office and state Department of Labor offices, as well as your local public library.

Networking is a very valuable resource in the job hunt, as well. Be aware of the fact that many, if not most,part-time job openings aren't advertised. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for work, and ask if they can help. Networking really does work.
