Seasonal work is an excellent way for students to earn some cash in their time off from school. Listings for students are often placed on college campuses, in the school paper, and on the school website. For a wider variety of options, the classifieds in newspapers and on-line listings often have a short-term or part-time section. One of the best sites for on-line listings of any kind is moscow.craigslist.org/jjj. Users can post offerings for free and browsers can look at the well organized and much used listings.
A forum that posts jobs particularly for expats is www.expat.ru/forum/vbclassified.
There are also teaching opportunities, even for people who have never taught before:
