How to find Part time Employment
Copyright (c) 2009 Ianson Internet Marketing
Looking for part-time work? It's not as difficult as you might think as long as you are flexible. There's always the old stand-by: the want ads in the newspaper. That might be a good place to start. There are also several web sites that have part-time work ads posted. Put the term "part-time work" or "part-time employment" in your favorite search engine and see what comes up. There are several Job Sites and Job Boards that specialise in such positions and have particular sectors advertising a range of part time and temporary postitions.
Another avenue to pursue is state, county, and city government work. Go to your state's official web site and find the "employment" section. Next, do the same thing for your county and your city. In this economy, there are probably greater opportunities for part-time work than full-time work because governments are feeling the pinch and can't afford to hire full-time employees. Another thing to consider is: are there any universities or colleges nearby? They often have part-time work or temporary work available. Temporary work is when a job is offered for a specific length of time, perhaps six months. Sometimes offices need temporary help to tide them over while an employee is out on medical leave.
If you are a college graduate, your alumni office should be able to provide you with employment assistance. Often the alumni office works with the career services department on campus to link former students with available opportunities. Companies contact college career offices when needing a chance to quickly reach a large audience with available employment opportunities. If you are a member of a religious group, try to network with your religious community at your church, synagogue, or mosque. Often jobs are located through word of mouth.
Finally, you can look in your local Yellow Pages under "employment agencies - temporary". You will find many companies who will assist you in getting placed in a part-time job. You will probably want to save this option as a last resort because using an agency will cost you money. The agency will take a percentage of your wages for providing the service of linking you to an employer.
Don't forget about seasonal work. During the holidays, companies often hire part-time workers. Also, during tax time, the Internal Revenue Service needs temporary workers as well.
Many people are fortunate enough to take a part time or temporary position within a company that leads to an offer of full time employment.
