Holidays mean different things to university students; for some, it’s a time to rest from the cumbersome school workload, for some, it’s a time to have fun and visit several places they’ve always wanted to be, and for others, it is an opportunity to make some cash before school resumes again. If you belong to the latter category, then it is good that you are reading this article as it provides you with different jobs you can take on this holiday.
Make money this holiday
You can do these jobs during the forthcoming holidays;
Waiter/Waitress
You don’t need too much experience to work as a waiter or a waitress. Most bars and restaurants are always in need of waiters who can attend to their customers. So, if you can always wear a nice smile and know how to make people feel relaxed, look out for restaurants and eateries that can let you work with them for a period of your holidays.
Store Manager
Store management is a retail job that you can do if you are very accountable and know how to get things in place. You could talk to your elder siblings who have a store and request to work for them during the holidays or you could even check for job vacancies that can accommodate you to work as a store manager for a short period.
Personal Assistant
Find people who may be close to you or not who have a huge workload and may need assistance. If you don’t find them around you, check job boards for individuals or organizations who are hiring personal assistants for a short period and apply. To make your work easier, be sure that you have a knowledge of management and productivity tools that can help you get ahead with your work.
Cashier
Cashier jobs require you to be honest because you will be in charge of handling money and ensuring the accuracy of transactions. Also, basic maths skills and excellent customer service skills are necessary to scale through the period you would work this job. Furthermore, being friendly, attentive, and helpful is important.
Driver
Driving, especially when you already have the skills and your driver’s license is one of the easiest jobs to try during the holiday. You can register on any of the ride-sharing apps and work through the holidays. If you will be in Lagos for the holidays, mostly during the festive period, driving can earn you valuable money because a lot of people will be willing to move from one location to another and may need to call cabs.
Marketing
For all the products that will be sold this festive period, do not put your marketing skills to sleep. Apply to organizations or brands that need digital marketers, influencer marketers, or even content creators, anything at all that can put their products in the face of their customers. Remember it’s a holiday job, so you may want to look out for people specifically running festive sales.
It’s okay if you just want to stay back at home and chill this holiday but we really just think that making money sounds cool too. Besides, you can still have fun if you want.
