Part-time Jobs for Retirees: Census Worker, Santa, and More
Want to play Santa this year? Or Mrs. Claus? Finding a part-time job as a Santa is a whole lot easier for retirees than for college kids. Here are some part-time job ideas for baby boomers, for now and later….
- Census Worker. Have you ever wanted to know more about how they take the census? You may have your opportunity if you can get a job as a census-taker. Darlene McDaniel has the information about how to get hired as a census worker on InterviewChatter. Of course, this one won’t start for a while, but it might work out for you if you are considering retiring in a few years.
- Part-time Librarian. If you love books, you might want to work part-time at your local library. They always need people, particularly those who know their way around a library and who will work odd shifts. Of course, this one doesn’t pay much, but it would be fun to see all the new books come in.
- Telemarketer. If you have a thick skin and you can sell, consider a telemarketing job. And if you don’t want a job that involves a lot of standing or walking, this one’s a good choice. Be sure you check out the company and its ethics before you accept.
