Seasonal job options around New Jersey?

With school expenses piling up, I'm exploring seasonal jobs near my hometown in New Jersey. Does anyone have recommendations for businesses that usually hire high school students for temporary positions?

Here are a few routes you could consider:

1. Retail Stores: During holiday seasons and over the summer, retail stores are often looking for extra help. Clothing stores, grocery stores, and other such businesses in your area might be hiring seasonal workers.

2. Restaurants or Cafes: Many establishments seek part-time help to cover busy shifts or vacationing employees.

3. Landscaping or Lawn Care Services: If you're open to physical work, landscaping or lawn care businesses often need help during the warmer months.

4. Tutoring or Childcare: If you excel in a certain subject area or have experience working with children, consider offering your services as a tutor or babysitter/nanny. With many parents working from home, there could be a need for additional help with kids.

Remember to prepare a professional resume and cover letter when you apply, and don't be discouraged if you don't hear back right away. Job hunting takes time and patience. Good luck!
