Most fast food chains don’t pay very much, so try shooting for the actual restaurants. Call ahead to get them started on your order while your driving. #Postmates hacks #gig working #tips&tricks

Uber, Uber eats, Lyft, Roadie, Shipt, Instacart, worked 2/3 PT jobs, these are a few things I do until something more in my field of work happens, sometimes having some $ is better than none and it relieves the pressure to some degree and helps you not to be frustrated with the process.

Here are the most common ways I have heard successful people find their first jobs. Which methods have you tried? A. Go to a grocery, fast food, or retail store and talk to a manager B. Talk to family friends and ask for part time help doing anything C. Found an easy gig on Craigslist that lead to a better one later D. Volunteer for no money but then took that experience to land a paying job later E. Go door to door asking neighbors to help with odd jobs F. Start a small side hustle selling something

A gig is a job that allows you to work for companies as a contractor. Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Postmates, etc...

These are great opportunities for folks looking to get a few extra bucks in the bank.

There is one big caveat to know about these positions. They are 1099 contractor positions, which means that federal, state, and other taxes are not withheld from your pay. This means more money in your pocket up front, but keep in mind, Uncle Sam wants his due.

These companies have to file paperwork with the state and federal government that shows who was paid and how much. At the end of the year, when it is time to file taxes, you will receive a 1099, 1099-MISC, 1099-K, etc...

You will use these forms to file your taxes for the year. You will owe your share of taxes at this time. Make sure that each payment you receive, you are setting enough aside to pay these taxes.

If you feel exhausted from looking for a full-time position it might be time to step back and consider taking a gig job! ...OR if you have a job, but would like to make more money this is the post for you!
