<p>So I just started an internship in NYC this week and I am doing it through the first week in August. However, Ive auickly found out how expensive everything is in NYC, so I need a job while I'm here. The problem is that alot of places probably wont hire someone that will only work for them for a month and a half. So does anyone have some suggestions as to what kind of jobs/where I should look?</p>
<p>i no what your going through, i just found a job and im only working their for about a month. my advice to u is dont be picky, just take what ever someone will give you. and if your not afraid, dont tell them your intentions (even though i think that isnt the best thing to do)</p>
<p>Try registering with a temp agency.</p>
<p>The biggest issue you'll face is that since you have an internship, your hours are much less. I'm in a similar position- working full time in Boston, plus taking a class after that. I'm in desperate need of a job but no one wants to hire someone who can only work weekends until the end of August.</p>
<p>Just conserve money, and act as if you live in NYC and were born there,</p>
<p>I have lived in nyc my entire life and you can spot a tourist a mile away. which makes people want to take advantage.</p>
<p>Guys walks into store wants a product, owner says for you $3.
I walk in right behind that person and I buy the same product for $1.</p>
<p>Best is with street vendors, they charge like $3 for a hot dog and $2.50 for a drink, while i usually get them for 2 for $3 and it includes a drink.</p>
<p>Hollister, or their father company, Abercrombie</p>
<p>You can always lie about planning to stay there for a long time and then quit saying that the job doesn't fit you very well.</p>
<p>Try an ice cream store, something like that, and play up your eagerness to work nights and weekends (and weekend nights, nobody wants to work then). Be persistent, call often, and you'll get a job.</p>
<p>Haha, yeah, I can always spot a tourist (or tourists, they are usually in groups) in NYC...they stick out like sore thumbs even amongst the crowds.</p>

<p>What the???? how do you do that?</p>
<p>Just walk with confidence, They know tourists like nothing else. If they told me $3 id walk away, but a tourist would easily pay it as they felt they didn't have a choice.</p>
<p>abercrombie.</p>
<p>Deliver something: newspaper,yellow pages, pizza,crack</p>
<p>you can apply for a cashier at Borders.</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>Vector has a lot of costs involved, though. (Gas money, for example, although in NYC, I guess it would be cheaper, with the one-day Metro Cards.) Not to mention it might be difficult to explain why you are carrying really sharp knives. :D</p>
<p>But you get started quickly if hired, and there's a lot of potential for money, and there's A LOT of flexibility (just ignore them when they start talking about Fast Start and Push Week and stuff... that's for people with lots of time).</p>
