They bring the papers to your place around 2 or 3 a.m. and you have another 4 hours to deliver them. EASY work!! Not bad pay for essentially a few hours of work each week! When I did it, I'd stay up and wait for the papers, spend half an hour folding them while watching The Bowery Boys and as soon as the movie was over, I'd go out and deliver them! My customers were THRILLED to have their paper by 3 or 4 a.m. instead of 7 or 8 a.m.!! If you drive, you can do it in your car, but I did them all on foot. NOBODY'S around to bug you, put your headphones on and get some exercise walking all over the place!! Wear slinky skirts and stuff if you want to! It's a great!!
People here drive the route, now, and half the time we don't even get a damn paper!!!! I'm seriously considering taking it up again!!
Also, you can try Craig's List or Angie's List or Indeed.com.
Good luck, hun!!
Hey that was my first job many many years ago, used to have to get up early and stuff the paper with ads and I had this huge heavy bag of newspapers hooked to the handlebars on my bike.... Then Id have to go out and ride around and toss the papers and try to keep them on the porch or front walk and not in the bushes or the grass... If I got lazy or missed the porch some crabby old people would call and complain Then like every two weeks Id have to go door to door and collect the $$$ for the paper and hopefully get tipped.... Some did tip and were nice and some miserable people would just bitch at me no matter how good I was at getting their paper to them Damn I HATED that job!!! LOL
All that said I have made it through all the testing, background, credit and driving record checks and a drug test for a rural carrier job with the post office.... I have a final in person interview on Wednesday to be tha mail lady Or is it the male lady LOL
Id LOVE to have this job
