United States Postal Service

The holidays are the busiest time of year for the United States Postal Service, so this can be a great place to pick up extra work.

The USPS is hiring seasonal workers now, so see if your local post office needs help with delivery services, driving, sorting or handling.

Macy's

Earlier this fall, Macy's announced plans to fill 38,000 seasonal positions.

The jobs were slated to be available in Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Bluemercury stores. The retailer also said it was hiring for its distribution centers.

Borrow up to $50k to finally crush your debt

If you have thousands in debt and you’re barely making it paycheck to paycheck, you know how suffocating it is. Debt is always on your mind. It controls your life. And even if you make on-time payments, they’re so expensive that you have nothing left over.

A personal loan could help you get out of this situation and lift your monthly debt burden significantly. You could finally pay off all of your debt at once, get rid of the sky-high interest rates, and slash your debt load to one manageable monthly payment.

AmONE is a marketplace where you can find some of the best personal loans available. They match you with loans up to $50,000 with rates as low as 2.49%. That’s better than most credit cards. And easier than draining your bank account every month. Seeing what you qualify for doesn’t affect your credit score, and if you’re approved, you could get money the next day.
