Remote job board with no registration and no charge to search. It has a dedicated Part-Time Jobs page and categories including IT and software development.
Why I recommend it: Free and simple. As with any board, apply only on the employer's own site and never pay to apply.
Free account for temp, part-time, full-time and on-demand work. No interview or résumé needed. Its page says W-2 shifts pay in 1 to 2 days and that it serves all 50 states.
Why I recommend it: One of the broadest lists on the page, with no résumé needed, which is useful when you don't want to rebuild one. Read each posting to see whether it is a W-2 or contractor shift.
Delivery driving with your own vehicle in blocks you choose in the Flex app. Requires age 21+, a driver's license, a qualifying vehicle and a smartphone. Amazon cites typical pay of $18 to $25 an hour.
Why I recommend it: Expect vehicle costs (gas, wear, insurance) to come out of that range. The page doesn't mention background checks, pay timing or contractor status, so read the terms before you sign up.
Get paid to test websites and apps by speaking your thoughts aloud, answering surveys or joining live calls. You apply and are matched to studies.
Why I recommend it: Useful if you want UX or product experience on your résumé. The page doesn't state pay per test or payout timing. Reviewers mention PayPal and one reported a cancelled payment, so read the terms and the FAQ.
App for picking up on-demand shifts in hospitality, warehouse, cleaning, retail, grocery and events work. Free to join; workers are background-checked.
Why I recommend it: Good first stop if you need paid shifts fast. Instawork's homepage says 400+ cities but its FAQ says over 60, so check your city before you apply. It doesn't say whether you are W-2 or 1099 on the pages I read, so ask before you accept a shift.
