I need extra money

Gigiey

Am a student and my part time work isn't paying all that plus my hours are limited. I need to earn some money extra. Any suggestions?

What you studying

Ever thought of being an extra for movies and TV shows made here? Some decent money to be made. There's a few companies, movieextras.ie is the only one I can think of atm. But the likes of ripper street, Vikings, fair city etc are always looking for extras

True, it's very ad-hoc. But you could put your name down nonetheless and accept/ reject jobs as they suit you.

Doesn't bode well that you can't think of how to get extra money.













Just kidding.

You could also give grinds when September rolls around again. I did a bit of this when I was studying a&f.

You could do some bookeeping put up an ad for that service. If you're 2nd year you should be well able to do a set of accounts

Not a job you do just for the money! Plus course is 9 to 12 month FULL TIME. OP is hardly going to do it on top of his current studies,

How about being a Mystery Shopper

Try catalystmarketresearch.ie and customerperceptions.ie

I did a bit of work for both these agencies when I was looking for steady employment.

What was the money/hours like?

Not regular hours as such, just assignments. Fees varied from as low as 10 euro for an assignment up to 80 euro (depending on the company/shop where the mystery shop was carried out). Fee covered the assignment itself plus writing up online report afterwards.
Normal procedure would be to register with the mystery shopping agency, then they would email people on their register with an assignment, you would apply to do the assignment and agency would decide if you were selected or not to do the assignment. If successful, you would be emailed details of the assignment and time frame within which to complete it and return your report. You would be paid on a monthly basis.

This might not be an answer to you for a job in a workplace but a lot of online SME's are looking for bookeepers, content writers, social media posters etc

Most of them are only looking for 2-3 hours a week but if you got a few of them you could work from home in your own time and study too

No its not, you can do a 5 day course with a certain agency and that gives you the courses they need to have you on the books ( I have done this and worked in St james's for 2 years) I also went and did the full fetac 5 course for 1 day a week for 26 weeks.

If you're in Dublin and have a bike you might consider delivering food for Deliveroo. Pays between 9 and 14 per hour (on average) depending on how good you are and how busy it is plus you get tips on top of that. I average about 60 quid per 4 hr shift and I might do that 3 or 4 times a week. You can work as much as you like really but you have to put in 2 shifts per week from Fri thru Sun as a minimum. It's very physically demanding. Great way to get exercise though and get fit over the summer.

How does one find these jobs? I'm looking for a content writer, social media poster job for ages?

i worked a second job in college in promotions, its really flexible and fun too.
i did everything from sampling cheese to shoppers in Tesco, to launching the (new at the time) Smirnoff cocktails range to giving out free stuff on the street, Yakult was the first one i ever did in a massive costume morto but it pays well

you get everything provided in general you need to be friendly outgoing and have a drivers licence,

i loved it

Should have looked a few months ago and pitched for summer work experience.

Apologies for the hijack but I've been toying with the idea of signing up to do a few evenings of this to top up the wages from the day job, the added exercise doesn't hurt too. How many hours a week do you have to sign up for?
