Winter Break Jobs in the United States

Winter break is brief and busy, but it's still a good time to make a little money and add to your resume. If you can't face another boring holiday season waiting tables or working retail, try something a little more exciting.

Craigslist
The best place to start is Craigslist, where employers frequently post short-term job openings. You can also pick up gigs or advertise your own services for free. Beware scams, and don't give out personal information until you've met your employer and are certain the job is genuine.

Temporary Agencies
Temporary agencies are another excellent way to find no-strings-attached winter jobs. If you have decent typing skills and are familiar with Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, you may be able to get a job--or a series of jobs--that pays substantially better than retail. Sign on with as many agencies as you can to increase your chances of getting steady work. Some major staffing agencies are Manpower, Kelly Services, OfficeTeam, and Elite Staffing.
