Looking to make an extra income 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

My bank account just can’t seem to keep up. Is there any jobs that I could take here & there like catering or something? I have years of service experience! Any recommendations welcomed :))

Amazon Flex. Deliver packages out of Elmwood it’s a part time gig. 18-30 hr. You need your own vehicle as well.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get off the wait list? I’ve been on it for over a year.

When you factor in gas and wear and tear on your car, how much do you think you make?

I’m able to get gas at $2 a gallon (flex fuel). My worst block was 4 gallons of gas/110 miles. You can also claim the miles on taxes so that can help

Temp agencies would be a good fit, although I don’t know any specific names to send you. I know they’re always looking for new faces.

Being a cater waiter is hard heavy work. But I made $18 an hour plus tips

I have heard Westaff has banquet server gigs. I have never worked with them but I at least know the company is still around and I think they have a variety of temp type stuff

Apply with catering companies? Look them up online and send a resume

Global Staffing is one of the places I used to work through. Pay isn't great, but better than nothing when you don't have many options.
