Doing odd jobs is a great way to put some jingle in your pocket. Plus, you’ll earn the respect and satisfaction that comes from helping others.

Use odd jobs to develop your skills and work experience. Include your skills, experience, and odd job business on your résumé and job applications. Ask customers to provide you with job references.

Developed and launched in 1998 by the award winning nonprofit, Young Entrepreneurs Society, the Squad has helped hundreds of teens find work doing odd jobs in their communities.
