During times of economic turmoil, everybody is in search of ways to supplement their income. But your week is already full and yet your income still seems to be inadequate to put food on the dinner table, pay your monthly bills and send your children to school. This causes people to look for another possible source of income. A word of caution though, most of these weekend jobs are manual in nature and most are not in an office setting so be ready for some hard work. Here are some of the higher paying jobs that are out there for people wanting to work on the weekend.
Manual and Highly Skilled Jobs
Most weekend jobs are manual and high-skilled jobs. These usually include plumbing, electrical work, painting and gardening jobs. Though manual in nature, it is considered high-paying since they are paid on an hourly basis or when they finish the job. The downside is you have to be skilled in performing such tasks. These types of jobs are usually done in private homes.
Property Maintenance Jobs
Another type of high-paying weekend job is performing property maintenance. Property maintenance deals with maintaining the upkeep of properties, commercial spaces or areas inside an exclusive subdivision or village. Property maintenance includes the monitoring and checking the cleanliness of function rooms, pool areas and even landscaping. You may be required to do some painting, minor repairs, shovel snow in the winter or simply change light bulbs that have burnt out in hallways.
Part Time Sales Associates
Among all the weekend jobs, this is the highest paying. You do not just have the basic pay but also the commission you get on a per sale basis. Sales Associates usually are involved in selling real estate, appliances and even cars. These usually require sales skills. Selling might take some time to master as you have to learn to ask for the sale, not just expect people to buy.
Tutorial Services
Another high-paying weekend job is working with school children and high school teens. Tutorials are best done on weekends since during the week the children are in class. These sessions could be tutoring in math, writing skills, science or even music. You have to be competent in the academic subjects that you will be handling, used to dealing with children and most of all, have great patience to go over and over the material if needed.
Think Outside the Box
While you are searching for the perfect weekend job, you can find additional ways to supplement your income. Do odd jobs, sell old clothes and household items you no longer wear or use online, in a yard sale or at the flea market. You can even buy the contents of storage units when the owners fail to pay the rent and sell them.
There is a wide variety of weekend part-time jobs. As long you are dedicated and have the drive to take on a job over the weekend, there is a job out there that will fit your needs. The extra money you earn will help you be able to survive in this difficult economic time we are living in.
