I'm a freshman in college, and I absolutely DESPISE the place I work at now because they give me too many hours when I told them sooo many times that I can only work no more than 16-18 hrs. per week because of the workload of homework that I get. They don't listen to me, so now I need help finding something else that's simple, part-time, weekdays ONLY, and no more than 16 hours per week. It hurts how they don't respect my availability, so now I have to find something better for me. I live in the San Jose area, so if anybody has any ideas of what type of simple, easy, college-student jobs I can apply to, i would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Try a Library or a Bookstore employee. As a bookstore employee you can find some discounts in your books. And as a Library employee you will be close to the books, so you can find a lot of information and even do homeworks while you are working. Good luck.

Bria, If I had to go back to being a college student, I know what I would do....start my own temp labor service. I am in business...I own two business...and we are in constant need of temporary people. I sometimes use a temp service, but the quality of people I get from those is really bad. I have used college students whenever I could get them and much prefer that, but have always had a very hard time finding them. You would be surprised how many businesses could use help answering phones, filing, some computer data entry, etc. on an occaisonal basis and don't want to hire someone permanently. Oh well, just an idea....

Have you been to your college's employment office. The ideal jobs are ones on campus! Many offices need workers during the week and the benefits are fantastic. By benefits I mean you end up learning all the ends/and outs of the university and the jobs are usually not horribly stressful. I worked in the college library in college and it was wonderful because I knew that place backwards and forwards and made several great contacts with professors. The employment office also has job listings for employers looking for people who are intelligent and need only part time work. I use a local college's employment service to staff my church's nursery!

There are lots of part time jobs for a college student. Does you college have a job referal department, I would start there, and see what is available, also ask other students, word of mouth helps a lot, you can also look for a part time job with an agency and do companion care (helping older adults). What about childcare, many parents are looking for part time sitters. Best Wishes and Happy Job Searching.

I am a college student and I work part time at a nursing home. There, they have one "shift" that Is only like 3 hours... Of course, all places are different but I would check out the nursing homes in your area Or I would try retail shops like at the mall or something...I live in a small town and there is no mall, and not alot of stores so we dont have alot of choices.. just let them know upfront like at the interviews and let them know your needs. Also, Selling Avon is a great way to make extra money, I've been selling it a couple months, school is still out for break but i am expecting alot more sales once it begins... the more you sell the more you make... and It only costs $10.00 to get started! email me if you're interested.

working on college is good. I worked as a computer lab assistant. There was down time to do research for homework and gas money was reasonable b/c i stayed at one place and commute home.

try to get an on-campus job at an office.
best if it's in the department where you are a student.
working on campus is best.
they don't stay open until all hours
and they mostly think it's important for you to do well in school
and you are already there anyway.

retail. department store. work one of the two weekend days and a few night shifts during the week. you'll get right about those hours. plus, it's easier to get commission during those hours instead of the weekday mornings and afternoons when nobody is shopping.

I am a customer of this company and earn extra money simply by refering others to the company. This job is perfect because even if you put in an hour a day you would succeed tremendously. You need something like this so that you can focus on your studies. I would love to give you a great website to look at but I would hate to lose my Yahoo account due to advertising so you should probably email me. This will change your life forever! Jennifer
