Seasonal Retail Jobs:
         
One of the best jobs during the holiday season are retail store workers. These jobs are easy to come by because many retailers temporarily increase their staff anticipating lots of shopping consumers. Most retailers are looking to hire cashiers and stockers.

If you have some customer service experience or have worked in a retail store before, your chances of getting a season retail store job are very good. The best ways to find these jobs is to take a walk through your local mall.

Babysitting:
         
When it comes to young children, parents are often pressed for time. They do their grocery shopping on the way home from work or take their kids with them. Christmas shopping is tricky. You have a unique opportunity to market your business to parents who need a few hours to do their Christmas shopping, attend holiday parties, and more.

To advertise your services as a babysitter, put an ad on Craigslist or in your local newspaper. You can also search Craigslist and browse through newspaper ads to look for ads parents have taken out requesting a childcare provider.

Gift Shopping:
       
Not everyone is able to leave their homes to do Christmas shopping. Older men and women as well as those with certain disabilities could use someone to help them. This help can come in a number of different formats. You can take an older man or woman Christmas shopping (basically be their transport and help pick out gifts) or actually do the shopping yourself (they give you money and a list of people to buy for).

With this approach, they hand you money so you should be ready to provide some references. Your selling point is that even with your fee it will be cheaper for them (as opposed to buying over the phone) because you are able to seek out the best deals.
       
These are just a few of your options when looking to find one of the best jobs during the holiday season. Most of these jobs and opportunities can be found on Craigslist.org. Don't forget that you can also advertise your paid services on Craigslist to make some extra money for the holidays.
