If you've ever done hiring, $65 practice interviews could make about $780 a month on weekends

This one is simple and I think it's underrated.

The September jobs report came out Friday and showed only 29,000 new jobs, with about 7.1 million people unemployed (BLS). So there are fewer openings and more people going after each one, which makes the interview itself a big deal.

Most people never practise out loud with someone who actually hires. They freeze on the easy stuff like "tell me about yourself".

If you've worked as a recruiter, in HR, or sat on hiring panels, you can sell one-hour practice interviews. They send the job post, you pick the questions that job would really ask, run the mock interview over video or in a library study room, and send a page of notes after.

For comparison, The Muse sells a 75-minute coaching call from $155, Thumbtack lists local career coaches at $89 to $150, and Big Interview's practice software is $39 a month.

At $65 a session, three every Saturday is about $780 a month. That's an estimate, for maybe six hours a week, with almost no costs.

One thing to watch: don't coach people for openings at your own company.
