A part-time gig can bring in those extra funds.
It seems like all your friends are buying flashy cars, strutting around in new duds, and putting down 10 percent on beachfront condos. So why are you still living in a one-bedroom apartment, living on chicken soup, and watching Gomer Pyle reruns? Maybe you've even considered taking out a small loan just to go on a date. A few extra hundred dollars a month would really hit the spot, but your boss keeps giving you the brush off. It might be time to get a part-time job--but can you handle it? Ask yourself these four questions.
1. How much time do I have to work?
Does your present job already occupy most of your waking hours? Are you overburdened with responsibilities there? Do you often take work home? If so, there's a chance that a part-time job may not be in your best interest. You might start slacking on your primary job, lose it, and get stuck with just a low-paying part-time job. Assess every hour of your day before filling out any job applications.
2. What kind of work can I do with minimum effort?
A part-time job would merely be something just to get you through the lean times.
This is a part-time job, so obviously it's not going to be long-term deal. This will merely be something to get you through the lean times. You should work a part-time job for no more than a year, so why not make it fun and easy? If you're like most people, your best bet in the part-time job market is food or retail. If you go into food, try looking into coffee houses or small diners. The pay will be low, but you can build relationships with the regulars and make a small mint in tips. By the way, you'll want to avoid fast food restaurants at all costs. If you go into retail, look into music shops, hipster clothing stores, or any store that you usually frequent. The idea is to work somewhere you actually enjoy being.
3. Where should I look for a part-time job?
A stupid question, right? You look for a part-time job in the same place where you found your full-time job
