7 Jobs You Can Start (Almost) Immediately

Need to start working? Unfortunately, getting a new job takes time. Instead of waiting months to hear back from applications, why not consider one of these jobs that you can start (almost) immediately.

Start Babysitting

Everyone has to start somewhere. Besides, babysitting isn't just for kids anymore! Many time-strapped parents are turning to babysitters in order to get more work done around the house or get outside for some much-needed "me" time. So, get your foot in the door by offering to watch kids after school, on weekends, or even in the evenings when their parents need some extra time to themselves.

Test Websites

You don't need to have a degree in computer science to land this gig. Just sign up for free on sites like UserTesting and start testing websites as a mystery shopper. You'll get paid $10 for each 20-minute session you complete and you can do it in your pajamas if you want! It's basically like getting paid to shop online.

Become A Search Engine Evaluator

Did you know that Google is always tweaking its search engine to give the best results? Companies will pay good money to have someone test out their new features before they go live. You can sign up with different companies like Leapforce, Appen Butler Hill, Lionbridge, and more. If you do well, you may even be able to work it into a full-time job.

Do Social Media Management

Do you know your way around Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and more? If so, you can land yourself some part-time work doing social media management for different companies. Just check out sites like Upwork or Craigslist. You might even be able to find a company that can use you on a more long-term basis.

Become an Online Tutor

In today's digital age, there are tons of different ways to learn things. If you know your way around the internet as well as around a textbook, you can turn your knowledge into cash by becoming an online tutor for younger students. You can work for different companies like Wyzant or Chegg, or even start your own tutoring business!

Become a Delivery Driver

This isn't your average fast-food gig! By becoming a delivery driver for companies like Amazon Flex, Grubhub, Doordash, or Favor, you can set your own hours and decide how much money you want to make. If you're looking for more serious courier jobs, you should consider driving longer distances. With the rise in online shopping and one-day delivery, there are always plenty of jobs for couriers.

Drive For Lyft Or Uber

It's not too late to sign up and start working for a ride-sharing app like Lyft or Uber. If you already have a car, all you need to do is pass their requirements and hand in your documents. Once you're approved, you can work whenever it's convenient for you — no boss, no schedule. You just pick someone up and take them where they want to go. Then all you do is sit back and make money with your car.
