Don't sleep on these night jobs
Working the night shift is extremely appealing for some people, whether it's to accommodate personal obligations during the day or a chance to earn extra income. Whatever the reason may be, it's helpful to know where to look for night jobs. We’ve got some ideas!
Bakeries and 24-hour restaurants
Bakeries and 24-hour restaurants are excellent options for night jobs, especially if you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment. Examples of night jobs in this industry include bakers, cooks, dishwashers, servers, and cashiers. Some popular employers in this industry include Dunkin', Denny's, Waffle House, and IHOP.
Big box home improvement stores
Big box home improvement stores, such as Lowes and Home Depot, are known for having vast quantities of merchandise that customers can find quickly. This provides a great opportunity for people who want to work stocking shelves and managing inventory, because a lot of this work happens at night. These stores usually have a higher demand for workers during the spring and summer season, making it an excellent time to look for job opportunities.
Security
If you're looking for a job that allows you to work independently, security may be the right choice for you. Security guards are in high demand, especially for night shifts. Caregiving facilities (like your local hospital and senior care facilities) and large retailers like Macy’s sometimes hire security guards directly, but you can also work directly with security companies such as Allied Universal.
Warehouse and logistics
Warehouse and logistics companies often operate around the clock, which means there are plenty of night job opportunities available. Positions in this industry include forklift operators, material handlers, and order pickers. Employers in this industry include Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and DHL.
Supermarkets
Supermarkets are another excellent option for night jobs. Night workers in this industry typically work as stockers, night bakers, and maintenance workers. The biggest store brands vary a lot depending on where you are located, but some popular employers in this industry include Harris Teeter, Safeway, Wegmans, and Giant Food.
Hospitality
The hospitality industry is another option for night jobs, especially if you enjoy working with people! Examples of night jobs in this industry include hotel front desk agents, night auditors, and security personnel. Popular employers in this industry include Holiday Inn, Sonesta, Delaware North, Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt. And don’t forget operators of pet hotels like PetSmart – a fast-growing category that hires for night jobs as well!
Convenience Stores
Lastly, convenience stores are a great option for night jobs. Workers in this industry typically work as cashiers, stockers, or maintenance workers. Examples of popular employers in this industry include 7-Eleven, Circle K, and Speedway.
