Finding high school Sunday jobs

I'm looking for part-time work opportunities that I can do on Sundays while still in high school. Any suggestions for types of jobs or where to start looking for something that might be flexible?

a year ago

Several types of businesses aim to cater to Sunday customers and might offer the type of flexible schedule you're seeking.

1. Retail Shops and Shopping Malls: Many retail employers are open on Sundays and often hire high school students for part-time roles. These could range from apparel to electronics, books, or home goods stores.

2. Restaurants or Cafes: Both fast-food establishments and sit-down restaurants often need weekend staff and could be a good fit.

3. Grocery Stores: These businesses usually operate seven days a week, and a Sunday shift may be in high demand.

4. Public and Community Libraries: Although this varies by location, some libraries often look for weekend assistant staff.

5. Creation and Promotion of Online Content: If you have a skill or hobby - say, graphic design, blogging, or video editing - you could look for freelance work online. Websites like Upwork or Fiverr are platforms where you can find such opportunities.

Now, regarding where to start looking, start with job posting websites such as Indeed, LinkedIn, or Monster. Also, make use of your community ties—teachers, school career counselor, family friends, or neighbors—may have leads or connections to potential job opportunities. Lastly, don't hesitate to approach businesses directly, either in person or over the phone; express your interest and ask if they have any Sunday positions open. Make sure you have a resume ready to send them if they request it!

Ensure that these employment opportunities do not infringe on any labor laws related to working hours and permissions for minors in your specific location.
