Hi, are you looking for a part time job? What is the purpose of finding a job? Would you like to earn more pocket money or acquire working experience?
If you would like to acquire some working experience, you can look for jobs that is relevant to the career you would like to pursue. You can look for any intern or part time opportunities. Large corporation post the intern vacancies in the website from time to time. Some of them may do it via the career development office in your school. Alternatively, you can also consider to do it sandwich mode if you are in college, i.e. you can choose the suspend your study for a period, say 1 year. You will work for that the corporate which offering the intern opportunity in that period and resume your study after that. It is very good opportunity to gain more experience and knowledge on the industry. Also, some corporate may give the student a permanent offer after the graduation.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a part time job for financial subsidy, you can consider to work in fast food shops, supermarkets, retails stores, etc. which does not require specific skills knowledge. But, please find our job that is suitable for your age and safe. Discuss with parents and teacher before taking the job.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Hello!
I would recommend utilizing your curiosity and research skills!
* Anytime you meet someone, ask them what they do and how they ended up there. There are so many employers that do not put up job listings so talking to people is your most prized resource. If you know anyone that has a job that you're interested in, make it a point to ask if they're hiring and how to apply. I have found that most people are willing to give advice when it's asked for.
* If you have a specific industry in mind and do not know anyone in that industry, Google "______ businesses near me" and call them to ask about any job openings. A lot of businesses that have their own website will usually have a "Careers" section either at the bottom of the page or in the menu as well.
* Social media can be very helpful. Facebook has a function in the marketplace where you can search for jobs. You can also make a post asking your friends/family to suggest any places they know of.
* Google "jobs near me" and look through available job listings provided.
Once you find a position you're interested in, make sure to ask a few vital questions like:
* How much is the pay?
* When will I get paid regularly?
* When does the pay period start/end?
* How many hours will I work each day/week?
* When do I start & end my day?
* When & how long is my break and is it paid or unpaid?
* Are there any benefits provided such as Medical, Dental, and/or Vision insurance, a 401k, Paid Vacation and/or Wellness time, & Maternity Leave?
* What are my daily/weekly/monthly expectations?
* What is the workplace culture like?
* What positions are above and below me in the work hierarchy?
* How do raises and promotions work in the company?

Consistency is key! Though it may feel as though you're applying for hundreds of jobs and having plenty of interviews, don't stop until you get the one YOU want. Make a list of all the things you would like in your job/career and the dealbreakers you do not wish to tolerate. That way during each interview you won't only have questions about the company itself but the actual work environment too. Also, if there ends up being a tie between two jobs, the pros and cons list should be easier to create.
Don't be afraid of rejection! Rejections are just making room for greater opportunities to great you in the future. For all, we know the final rejection could be making way for a job with twice the salary and more PTO.
Also, be open to new ideas! Jobs are trying to be more innovative these days or may be more conservative. Don't be too quick to turn something down just because it's out of your comfort zone. The best growth is done when we're uncomfortable.

If you're in college, often your university has job opportunities. These are especially great because since they're through your school, the hours are typically accommodating for students.

If you're asking about finding a job at your college, I would recommend attending job fairs usually held by the college's career offices or visiting your college's career office to ask for more information on the resources they provide for job search. The college might also have a career website where they post on-campus jobs as well as jobs from organizations associated with your school.
