With the arrival of summer, many of us crave the luxury of a carefree life. However, instead of just lazing around the pool all season, there are other productive ways to spend your time. If you’re a recent high school or college graduate or need extra money, consider a part-time summer job to pad your wallet. Here are some helpful tips to assist you in finding the ideal summer job.
Target Industries that Boom in the Summer
Businesses related to travel and relocation tend to perform better during the summer as people often go on vacations and move homes. It may surprise you to know that this summer, anywhere from 17 to 20 million people are expected to relocate, and nearly 45% of all moves take place between Memorial Day and Labor Day. This surge in activity makes companies such as U-Haul, who specialize in do-it-yourself moving, exceptionally busy during the summer months.
Stay Open to Working Multiple Jobs
If you’re already employed and seeking an additional source of income, U-Haul may be the perfect fit for you. We highly value moonlighters as integral members of our team, as they assist us in meeting the increased demand for our services during evenings, weekends, and holidays. As a moonlighter, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your skills and provide top-notch customer service to our valued clients. You might be wondering, what exactly is a moonlighter?
moon-light-er (noun):
one who holds a second job in addition to a regular job.
