odd jobbing

Varied small tasks

Odd jobbing is the practice of doing various small, unrelated tasks for pay rather than holding a single steady job.

An odd jobber might fix a fence one day, paint a room the next, and haul debris the day after: He made a living odd jobbing around the neighborhood.

The work is typically manual and informal.
