Consider the Advantages of a Part-Time Position
Regardless of your current career stage, there are many reasons why a part-time position might be the best job fit for you.
For many, part-time roles help balance the responsibilities of caregiving. This is especially helpful if you have varying commitments, such as those of a military spouse working around deployments, drills, and other time constraints.
For others, part-time roles offer job security as they dip their toes in the water of a new career.
Or, perhaps you’re considering adding on new certifications or a degree to enhance your marketability. In that case, a part-time job can help ensure you still have income while being able to devote sufficient time to your studies.
Or, perhaps you’re simply looking to bring in some extra income, and freelancing doesn’t appeal to you. In that case, a part-time role might be the perfect fit for your needs.
