Receptionist

Receptionists work in professional offices, medical offices, schools, and churches. They are the first person that most clients or patients encounter, and they handle a wide range of duties, including:

  • Answering phone calls and emails
  • Greeting clients or patients
  • Scheduling appointments
  • Data entry
  • Record keeping
  • Filing

Most receptionist positions require a minimum of a high school diploma or GED, as well as excellent communication and organizational skills.

Warehouse Worker

Warehouse workers are always in demand, both for brick-and-mortar and online-based businesses. Warehouse workers need at least a high school diploma and must be able to lift and carry inventory items weighing 25-50lbs or more. In addition, some data entry and machine operation may be required.

Administrative Assistant

Administrative assistants do many of the same jobs that a receptionist would do. They are also tasked with more intensive support of clients and customers, as well as assisting and supporting the needs of employees and management teams within the company. Administrative assistants need a high school diploma at a minimum, though some employers may require an Associate degree or more.

Bookkeeper

Bookkeepers are a valuable asset for a company and a part job in high demand. They are responsible for maintaining “the books,” which include all the financial transactions for the company, including payments and bank deposits. Most companies want to see a degree in accounting, finance, or certification as a bookkeeper at a minimum.

Getting a part-time job provides you with the extra income you need and it allows you to improve or expand your job skills. While the jobs above are among the highest paying part-time jobs, there are many options available that could be a good fit for you.
