The Cynical Girl: Get A Job During the Holidays

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 03:45 AM PST

The holidays are such a weird time of year. You don’t have to be Christian to freak out and spend too much money.

How do you get a job during the holidays? Persistence. Using good networking skills. Being creative and trying to meet new people at volunteer events who can help you find a job after the first of the year.

You can also work a temp job. Here are some resources.

manpower.com… — temp admin work
kellyservices.com… — temp admin work
craigslist.com… — random manual labor jobs for the day that may pay cash
fiverr.com… — cash-driven employment board with crazy, transactional opportunities

I have no idea why one month, rooted in peace and joy, can make people lose their minds. I would like to remind everyone that December is also a good month to reflect, come to terms with your personal faults, and begin an action plan for the upcoming year.

It’s never too late to get it right.
