After more than a year of restrictions on just about everything thanks to COVID-19, things are finally starting to turn around and the end goal of getting back to some form of normal life is starting to feel like it is in reach.
As local businesses begin to reopen, they are going to be overwhelmed with demand and many of them will likely be understaffed after months and months of struggling to keep costs under control while pandemic restrictions held back demand for their products and services.
With many businesses looking to hire extra help, there is going to be plenty of money to be made for anyone interested in taking on a part-time job. If that extra money is something you might be interested in, let’s check out five industries that could be a good fit for you to explore in the coming months.
Bars & Restaurants
This might be a little too obvious, but it doesn’t change the fact that every restaurant in the country is going to experience more demand than they are currently staffed to handle in the coming months. With that in mind, every single one of them is going to be desperate for help on just about every single shift on just about every single night.
If you have any experience at all in the food service industry, you are going to be able to take your pick of jobs around your town. And if you don’t have any experience at all, you will still be able to find a good fit somewhere.
Hotels
With travel set to spike all summer long, hotels across the country are going to be right up there with restaurants in looking for anyone and everyone to help fill their schedules.
This could be the perfect time to land a sweet night shift job working the front desk at one of the hotels near you, or you could see wages for part-time cleaning positions spike through the roof.
Retail Stores
Another industry that is likely going to boom throughout the summer months is any type of in-person retail operation. We have all adapted pretty well to shopping online, but there is something more therapeutic about shopping in person, and we are all going to be glad to get that feeling back this year.
Whatever type of retail stores you find yourself attracted to as a customer will likely be good options for part-time work this summer, and most of them will come with a sweet employee discount that you can put to work when you’re spending those hard-earned wages.
Event Venues
What other industries are we excited about opening up this summer? How about all of the concert and sporting event venues that have been completely closed for over a year now!
Every single stadium and concert hall is going to have to hire a brand new crew starting from scratch, so if you have ever dreamed of selling peanuts and beer during the big game, now is your chance to land that gig and lock it up long-term.
Anything at the Airport
It’s no secret that airports have been operating way below capacity for more than a year now, but as we begin to reopen leisure travel options, that is going to change in a hurry. All of the restaurants and shops in every airport are going to need part-time help, and so are all of the airlines themselves.
No matter which one of these industry ideas is most appealing to you, there is absolutely no doubt that just about everyone is going to be hiring pretty much non-stop over the next year. So, if you are thinking about grabbing a part-time job to help make ends meet or save for the future, now is definitely the time to get in on the ground floor somewhere that fits your style and skill set.
