Back-to-School Job Opportunities
Fall is coming and back to school is approaching. For many people, it is a time of change in schedule and routine and can be a great time to look for your next job opportunity. Many businesses are also hiring to meet holiday production time schedules and deadlines, so you may be able to get a job at a higher pay rate or with good overtime pay. There are a couple of things to consider when looking for work during the back-to-school season.
First, it is essential to look at your schedule and available hours. This is crucial, especially for parents with school-age children that may have changing childcare needs. Knowing the hours you are available to work is a great first step and can help you easily narrow down your options. Check with your child’s school for bus pick-up times and after-school daycare programs to get a clear picture of when you will be available.
Next, back-to-school season is also a nice time to re-evaluate your career goals. If you would like to make a career switch, you may need additional education to qualify for certain positions. Check your local community college for their fall classes and certification programs. Most community colleges also have GED or ESL programs if you are interested.
Finally, as schools ramp up for the new school year, many are looking for reliable employees. Even if you are not a teacher, there are many employment opportunities in education including sanitation, bookkeeping, and more. At Hughes Resources, we work with several local schools to fill a variety of positions.
