What are good temp jobs to find in Houston as you job hunt? Temp agencies aren't really showing opportunities right now and if they do they are all competing to place for the same positions. Often want a bunch of experience that I do not have. I've exhausted my unemployment benefits.

Do what you got to do. As somebody above said lots of retail hiring seasonal jobs now. UPS, FedEx need drivers. Wal-mart, Target, Costco, Macys, HEB, Kroger. Whatever it takes to pay the bills. At least you aren't picking up trash or cleaning stinky toilets in an Jr High school.

OP - you need to stop thinking that everyone else is applying and start thinking how you can make you stand out from the pack with "all that great retail experience you have". If you dont got it make it up. Get some friends to vouch for you....give them my number, and I'll tell them what a great cashier you were last year..lol

Try Indeed Flex, they have opportunities you may be interested in and they pay weekly, even offer same day pay! Just download the app and create you a profile. 🙂

I downloaded but it says there are zero jobs in your location. I'm in Jersey Village :s

Look at rice university they have plenty job openings right now.

Maybe reach out to Tiffany S or Stefanie Engels

What experience do you have?

Mortgage and project support (not construction)

Lots of retail is doing seasonal hiring atm

I hope they will hire older people, but Idk if I will be able to compete. It was really hard to get into retail before because there are even more applicants in this field.

And you need to BS your experience to fit the job you are applying

My number one go to side gig is Uber. There’s also Lyft and plenty of other gig jobs. No shame in doing any of these gigs. You set your own hours and can make as much as you want. I did it for multiple years while in school and loved it. DM if you want a referral link and Good Luck! 😊

Sorry to hear that OP. Check out Upwork or Fiver. Many types of side gigs besides ride share.
