Hello! I'm a high school junior interested in finding a seasonal job in Liberty, MO. I want to use my upcoming school break to gain some work experience and earn money. Any advice on potential job openings?
Sure thing, having a seasonal job during your school break is a great way to get some work experience and make some extra money.
To begin your job search, one of the first places to check can be stores that typically get busier during seasonal peaks like the holidays, such as retail outlets or grocery stores. Companies like Target, Walmart or local supermarkets usually have temporary positions available.
You might also consider restaurants or fast food joints, which can get busier during the holidays. Sometimes, they might need extra help. Starting as a host or waitress/waiter could be a beneficial addition to your resume and provide good customer service experience.
Don’t forget about local attractions and venues. Liberty is home to a variety of local interests like Liberty Parks & Rec and other event venues that might need seasonal help. They could use extra hands during peak times, especially during the summer.
Networking is another crucial method of finding job opportunities. Ask around! Your parents, teachers, or friends might know someone who's hiring.
Also, don't forget to prepare a resume showcasing your skills and potentially your academic achievements, as this is often the first thing employers will look at when considering your application.
Good luck with your job hunt! Happy job hunting!
