For those who have decided not to take on the full-time job route because you simply can’t stand sitting in the office for 8 hours straight, you’ll understand the struggle of not having a fixed income. Because your working hours are flexible, all the more you can take up more part-time jobs to supplement your existing income.
FastJobs offers a range of contract and part-time jobs that pay as high as $1,800! Check out 10 part-time jobs to call dibs on for when you’ve got some free time on your hands and could use some extra cash:

Before you apply, do note that you’ll have to undergo an audition. If you’re shortlisted, you’ll receive an 8-hour preliminary training, where they’ll teach you how to play a total of 6 musical instrument roles for 3 songs before you’re good to go.

We all die a little inside whenever we see someone approaching us with a clipboard at MRT stations because that can only mean one thing: SURVEYS.
But unlike all the other surveys, signing up as an Online Survey Respondent with Panel Place gets you rewarded with shopping vouchers and actual cash. In case you might be wondering if this is a scam, you can take comfort in knowing that this site only gets reputable companies, like YouGov and Toluna, to take part in these surveys.

Meeting new people while being surrounded by a bunch of doggos at We Are The Furballs sounds like quite the dream job especially when you’re obsessed with these furry lil friends.

Here’s one for all the social butterflies out there: if you love meeting new people and strive to look well put together on the daily, then perhaps being a Bellman at Shangri-La Hotel might just be the job for you.
You’ll be attending to guests’ needs by assisting them in carrying their luggage and delivering all mails to their respective rooms, which is why having a chirpy personality and being physically fit are essential for this job.
Although looking polished is one of the most important aspects of this job, stressing over your outfit for work should be the least of your worries as uniforms will be provided. Daily meals will be provided as well.
Note: Once you’re shortlisted, you’re required to follow the hotel’s grooming and uniform guidelines.
Apply here.
8. Mystery Shopper (up to $220/project)
If you’re known to be the observant one amongst your friends and you’re excellent at keeping things under wraps, you might wanna consider taking up a job as a Mystery Shopper in your spare time.
The job scope entails conducting shop visits and evaluating a client’s products and services – so you’re essentially getting paid to shop. How much you earn really depends on the project you’re being assigned to. If you’re lucky and you conduct yourself well, you might just draw a salary of $220/project.
Apply here.
9. Banquet Server (from $12/hour)

Many of us would have at least had some experience working part-time in the F&B industry just to occupy ourselves during the holidays. That being said, not all of us have a way of remembering and fulfilling all customers’ orders – which is why serving at banquets might be a better alternative for those who can relate.
Aside from serving food, being a Banquet Server will get you involved in setting the tables and utensils before guests arrive as well.
Here’s an added bonus: you can get your friends to work with you. And when they’ve clocked in a total of 30 hours in 2 weeks, you’ll receive a $20 referral bonus!
Apply here.
10. Freelance Outdoor Camp Instructor (from $180/project)

Outdoor Camp Instructors at Innotrek tend to be loud with the tenacity to overcome physically and mentally trying obstacles throughout the course of the 3D2N camp. Going on sea and land expeditions, high rope obstacle courses and campfire – this one’s a total opposite of a sedentary 9-to-6 job.
Though it’s known to be a physically-intense job, you’ll end your day feeling fulfilled as you’ll be imparting important life values to students. So, expect to run on energy and do a whole lotta self-reflection while you camp out with the students!
Apply here.
