Here are some tips to finding a job in Newport or anywhere in Rhode Island for that matter.

There are plenty of seasonal jobs in Rhode Island, especially Newport. I have worked in Newport, and the spring and fall can be a great time to find a job. This leaves most Newport business owners scrambling to find workers to cover those positions.

Newport employers need people to work weekends and some weekday shifts during these busy weekends. Working in Newport in the off season has another, plenty of free parking!

Even if you are collecting unemployment and working part time, you can still collect your unemployment benefit check.

Rhode Island Business owners are not penalized for laying a worker off, if they have been employed for less than 3 months on the job. This makes you a good candidate for temporary work in any Rhode Island business. You can also try Manpower for temporary work.

I used to be a cook / chef and worked in Newport for years in the restaurant business. Most restaurant owners like to higher younger people. Even if you worked a 65 hour work week you make $15.35 an hour. I went from working in my Chefs uniform making decent income to working in my PJ’s and earning a future.
