Reply With QuoteGood luck with that! My first thoughts would be retail. What are you qualified to do that would justify that wage?

So, Im looking for a weekend job..... saturdays and sundays only, (maybe fri eve).
I figure 24 hours every weekend. Okay, heres the catch, I really dont want to do retail and I wont take less than 11 an hour or it wont be worth it.
Ive combed through classifieds and their are a few options but everything seems to be retail and I know the pay will be min.
Any suggestions? Ideas?
Re: So, Im looking for a weekend job..... The only thing I can think of but it may not work like this is UPS. But it will require you to regularly lift 40 lbs or more, and you may not get paid $11 and hour.

Re: So, Im looking for a weekend job..... Try a hotel! Seriously! I've worked in the hotel industry for almost two years, and it's not too bad. A lot of them hire you to work a rotating schedule, but some (like mine) want someone specifically to work just on the weekends.

Re: So, Im looking for a weekend job..... Just read your wage requirements. Honestly... that's near impossible. I have exp. in the customer service industry, hotel industry, working in various animal related settings, have an associates, and am almost finished with m BA with two very difficult/sought after majors... and I can't draw $11 an hour. The economy just isn't as good as it used to be to make that possible.Originally Posted by reezz

Re: So, Im looking for a weekend job..... Babysit for parents who work on the weekends....you won't get $11 an hour though. You would be in high demand, since weekend childcare is nearly impossible to find.
Maybe you could look up the wedding consultants/event coordinators in your area and see if they need an assistant...or a catering company, as the holidays are coming up.
You could wait tables, and maybe with tips you could make that much.
Re: So, Im looking for a weekend job..... I'm not sure what you have in mind but if you do not want retail then maybe a waitress? There may be something you can find with the hours you want because of people eating out over the weekend. I have never done it but I would guess you may make $11 if you have several tables and are good. Just a thought.
Re: So, Im looking for a weekend job..... Waitressing will require her to work shifts she doesn't want - during the middle of the week. They won't bring a new person in and give them a coveted shift like the weekend when all the tips are made... it's just not likely to happen - those shifts go to the people who pull alot of the undesirable shifts and to people who have worked there for years. And you wouldn't get anywhere near $11 an hour waitressing.
Re: So, Im looking for a weekend job..... I have to say, I agree with this. In this economy, it is the employers market... they have the pick of the litter... and any job that pays $11 an hour is going to be a pretty nice job that will also be 40 hours a week and come with benefits....
Retail seems like the best fit to fulfill your other requirements but it too won't pay $11 an hour.
I have hired receptionists at $9 an hour and had people who had made over $40,000 a year with Masters degrees, applying for the position.... it is just a testament to the nature of the economy right now.
