Short Term Job before IB FT Ideas

Hey everyone! Recently graduated early, and after taking a 2-month vacation around Europe, I need some ideas for short-term jobs to have some cash before I start my FT IB in New York in about 6 months.

I’m thinking of a job in tech sales at a startup or financial advisory at a small private office. But I’m open to everything — what are some jobs you guys would look at? Criteria is: people-facing, interesting, and sales-oriented. Trying to build out a new skill in a low-stress environment that is complimentary before beginning in IB. Pay isn’t too important, obviously not min. wage, but I have savings so I’m just looking for a way to pay rent. 

Thanks!
