Hi! I’m a high school junior in Burbank, and I'm looking to earn some extra cash. Does anyone have suggestions for where to find part-time jobs suitable for students in this area?
Hello! It's great that you're showing initiative and wanting to earn some extra money. Some classic part-time jobs for high school students include restaurant jobs (think dishwasher, busser, or host/hostess), grocery store jobs (cashier, bagger, or even a department clerk), babysitting, or pet sitting.
You may have a good shot at getting a job at a local tourist attraction, given Burbank's proximity to multiple theme parks, studios, and museums. Movie theaters, local recreational centers, or shops in the downtown area can also be great places to look.
However, keep in mind that it's not just about finding a job. Also consider what you're interested in, what skills you want to develop, and how the job might align with your future career goals. For example, if you're considering a career in education, tutoring or after-school jobs at your local school might be a good fit.
Lastly, don't forget to check job listing sites such as Indeed or Appily, and to let people in your network know that you're looking for a job. High school guidance counselors sometimes have information about local businesses hiring, and friends and family might also have leads. Good luck with your job search!
