Most employers usually ask part-time workers for at least three months of service, but there are part-time jobs with a minimum span of one month, one week or even one day. So, it is not impossible to find a part-time job for a three-month stay. Part-time jobs that are popular for a short time frame include jobs at ski sites, seaside resorts, and hotels and restaurants at such resort locations.
