4. Seasonal Retail Associate
The definitive part-time job – most stores on a regular basis hire part-time associates to put in the work during festive seasons, like Christmas. And it’s not just the Christmas season; you may also come across openings in spring and summer too, for the home enhancement stores or garden centers.
If you have a pleasant customer-service mindset, then this is a good option for a part-time job. Seasonal retail associates characteristically help with the day-to-day operations of the store: stocking shelves, assisting customers, acting as cashiers, taking inventory, and other in-store tasks as needed
Working in retail outlets can be physically exhausting, especially for retirees, as a lot of time is spent on your feet and yet not very financially rewarding.
I retired because of my hands have arthritis. It took me on my job longer and longer to do my work with pain and I was unhappy because of this! I found a job working for the town I lived in it was 20 hours a week and did not require much hand work! I saw so many people that I have not seen in years! I love this job! What more can anyone ask for, I help people that are older than I, talk to many and find out what is going on in my town!!!
So happy for you!
I have worked since my retirement over 20 years ago but I had to retire again to be a
caretaker for my wife who has many health problems. My purpose has become taking care of her
and it is a full time job so I have no plans to go back to work until my situation changes. I
would love to find something to fill in the gaps but I have to work from home to do it.
This was a great article, I retired in 2023 and found a job working at an elementary school in the cafeteria, it’s a great job 20-25 hours a week, 10 minutes from home 9:30 -1:30 summers off weekends off and summers and holidays off all while earning a small paycheck but also getting health benefits. What could be better?
What about “voice-overs”?
Can a retired person with many voices & accents get into that?
