We get it.  You’re a nursing student with long hours.  You’re a varsity football player and your schedule is nuts even during the off-season.  You have a work-study job already.  You commute to school, or you’re busy with an internship, or you have time now but are studying abroad next semester, which is approaching so quickly you are hesitant to make any other commitments.

We get it because we have heard it!

The beauty of QuadJobs is that the jobs are so flexible, the platform works for a wide range of college students.  You can find an ongoing babysitting job with the same family every Tuesday and Thursday… or you can find one babysitting job on that one night you’re free.  Have a few hours free?  You can earn money moving a couch, helping at a party, or working at a marketing event.  Every year, local college students are hired through QuadJobs to pass out Halloween candy while families take their kids trick-or-treating.  How’s that for a sweet job?  Maybe you have one afternoon free a week, and are great at math, or Spanish, or writing.  Tutoring is a great way to earn money in your limited free time.

QuadJobs is actually geared to college students who want to connect to flexible, local jobs and earn money in a way that suits their hectic and always changing schedules.  Make this year a lucrative one and see which QuadJobs work opportunities are perfect for you.

QuadJobs is an online platform connecting college and graduate students to local jobs.  From Saturday night babysitting to moving a couch to helping a local business during a busy time, students find flexible jobs that fit into whatever free time they have. By streamlining the employment connection between campus and community, QuadJobs unlocks jobs particularly well-suited for students’ busy, often changing schedules.  The platform tracks every job a student takes and gathers performance reviews.  Small jobs matter—they help a student network, earn income, and build a track record of work experience.  Local employers can hire with efficiency and confidence.

Feeling connected to a community is important for all of us.  Having a friendly relationship with the neighbors you see coming and going each week is not only a pleasure, it can lead to greater safety (you keep an eye on each other’s property) and a more peaceful environment (people who feel connected to their neighbors are less likely to clog the street with parked cars or blare music in the wee hours).

To get off on the right foot with new neighbors, here are a few super-quick ideas to welcome them to the neighborhood:

1.  Drop off an easy breakfast.  This is old school but it works!  Muffins & orange juice = straight from the grocery store is fine.

2.  Give them a list of local restaurants you like for take out and special occasions.  What’s your pick for best local pizza?  A quick email or note in their mailbox will be appreciated.

3.  Tell your new neighbors about QuadJobs.  For just $35 for the year, they can post for local college students to help them unpack boxes, move furniture around, do yard work or odd jobs, or babysit the kids while they get stuff done.  Moving homes is a lot of work, but QuadJobs makes it easier to get it all done.  Families with children will be especially grateful for access to the best college babysitters in town.

4.  If you’re feeling generous with your time, offer to host a neighborhood BBQ or pizza night.  It’s amazing how doing this every so often changes the whole feel of the neighborhood.  It does not have to be a big effort.  Potluck is great.  Just one evening out of 365 = good vibes all year!  Hire a QuadJobber to tend bar, clean up, prep anything you need.

5.  If you’re friendly with other neighbors on your street or in your building, ask if it’s okay to share their contact info with the new neighbors.  It’s nice to have an easy way to contact others around you, and can help newcomers feel instantly connected to those around them.
Just a quick gesture of goodwill makes such a difference when someone is new to the area.
