Nothing but part time

You know my situation.. so should I even bother? LOL. Well, I currently work one part-time job because of child care issues. As you know, the little one starts daycare next week so I'm available to work full time hours and I'm hoping they give me enough hours to at least cover daycare expenses while leaving me a bit left over. You also know that I'm looking for another job, be it part-time or full time.. hoping to get the job I'm interviewing for tomorrow, we'll see. Whether I get a part-time or full-time job I will probably keep my current job at least through Christmas just to help towards holiday expenses.. that is of course if I can keep up with working 2 jobs while doing my school work.. but if I got a full time job I'd only do my current job on weekends, so shouldn't be an issue with school work. If I get a part-time job, such as the job I'm interviewing for tomorrow, then I'll still keep my current job and work whatever hours I can, and will probably continue to work it until I go full-time or whatever. Either way, my primary goal will be to pay daycare expenses and still have extra money left over for saving, spending, paying bills, etc.

I work part time because I have my retirement pension from the State and I really don't know if my health is up to working full time any more... I'm beginning to wonder if part-time isn't becoming a problem...

I do know some people that works several part time jobs, but she does so as self employment. It's getting more and more difficult to find jobs, even part time ones, who are willing to work around other schedules. This is VERY frustrating when jobs only want to give a few hours a week but they want you to be available each and every shift. I REFUSE to work third shift, as I've worked in 3 places that were robbed and witnessed 2 violent crimes while working the late shift. I'm sorry but there is NOTHING in the world that will ever again make me feel safe working late at night. I'm more than happy to work from 5am til 11pm/12am. I think that's plenty of availability for jobs but no, they want people who can be available ANY shift they want. The little store next to me does that. Opening employees have to arrive as early as 3am or as late as 5am and the store closes at 11pm. The average employee gets 10-16 hours per week, spread out over 4 or 5 days. The schedule rotates so that employees don't always get the same day off. That makes it difficult to have a second job

I actually have a friend that just got two different part time jobs last week. He got one job where they want him to work during the day and the other job is in the evenings only, so it is going to work out well for him because the two places are willing to work with each other. He decided to take the two part time jobs because he had been unable to find a full time job before he found these jobs, in fact it took him a while to even find the part time jobs.

For me it is good as long as you have to handle 2 jobs about part time.

Work is really hard to come by these days. I'm blessed to have a full time job, with a lot of opportunities for freelancing. I don't know anyone who's taking a part time job though. I'd want to take a part time job in addition to my full time work, I want to earn more so that I can buy a land and build a house for myself. Possibly even a car

When I worked for the school district I always had to have an extra part time job due to all the days off from school and summers and having to pay into state employee funds. The full time jobs I have had have been salary and so I could end up working tons of extra hours for no extra pay. Companies keep employees at part time so that they do not have to offer benefits. That was one difference. With the school jobs I did have benefits. Right now I have no job at all.

I worked a part time and a full time job at the same time up until a few months ago. When I was younger I worked 2 jobs that were both around 30 hours a week. I didn't need to work that much back then, but I liked money too much to settle for one job.

Some of the people that I know who do work part-time are those who for flexibility of their own schedules opt to working part-time and or as an additional to a full-time that they have. I think a lot of companies opt to hiring part-timers to avoid paying full time benefits and or some could actually be because they do not have enough work to hire full-timers.

Hi, Part time job is the order of day. With the down slide in world economy, this is the option that the corporate world can utilize to remain functional. With part time jobs, most of the labor laws are non-applicable. This gives employer an opportunity to hire and fire people according to his requirement.
