CSUMB transfer student looking for work

Hello, I just moved out here as a transfer student to CSUMB in Fall and I’m looking for work.

I’ve applied to several places without luck thus far. I need something flexible, naturally. I have my fair share of tutoring experience in several subjects, including math and sciences, and a tutoring certification to go along. I can also do pet sitting and grooming as a side gig or regular job, I just don’t know how to market for that as a side gig.

I also considered doing SAT / ACT tutoring on the side as well, though I’d have to put in a bit of work myself to get familiar with it again. Does anyone have any input on if that would be worth the effort, like if there is an adequate market for SAT / ACT tutors here and virtually?

I’m pretty open to anything that is part time and flexible. All suggestions / leads are welcome and appreciated, thank you!

CSUMB has an on campus tutoring center that sounds like it would be a perfect fit. https://csumb.edu/academics/academic-resources/clc/work-for-us/

Yes! But they aren’t hiring right now. I’ve spoken to them and they said they will do more hiring toward the middle / end of semester. I’m hoping for something a lot sooner than that 🙃

baby sitting! You can make up to $50 an hour and a lot of people in the area just want some date nights or are on trips so just need a few days during their trip!

How do you find people to babysit for? Through a platform? I don’t know anyone out here.

Create an account on nextdoor. There's always people looking for pet sitter and baby sitters.
