Tips To Get The Right Part-Time Job


In the current economic scenario, many people are looking for an additional income. If you are also looking for a part-time job for earning an additional income, you may find the following tips useful.
- You should first keep your communication channels open because once you make it known to potential employers that you are interested in part-time jobs, they may be contacting you. Even if you are not available at home, you should be available over your cell phones. Some employers may feel it necessary to conduct telephonic interviews and so, only if your communication channels are open, they will be able to carry out such processes.
- There are several job sites for part-time jobs. These sites specifically focus only on these types of jobs and you can use such sites for looking for jobs in the location of your choice. Most of these sites allow you to send in online applications. Employers like JC Penney, Walmart, etc. have many part-time jobs and you can submit your applications online for these jobs.
- While applying for such jobs, you should furnish details like your name and address, educational qualifications, additional skills, if any, and of course, your experience. These details will help the employers to make a decision. Some employers may like to know the remuneration you have been getting in your previous employment. Most importantly, you should clearly specify in your application your availability for the job because you are applying for a part-time job. You should give considerable thought to this aspect and give the right details. You should not mislead the employers because every employer may have their own plans to deploy their employees appropriately. Man-power is precious and employers may not like to waste this precious resource. If you specifically mention the hours of the day you will be available, employers may make their decision accordingly.
- Sometimes, you may stumble upon such an opportunity when you go for shopping because some companies keep signs outside their stores that they need employees. Even if you do not see any such signs, you can inquire with the managers of large and reputed stores if they need any employees.
- You can have a look at the ads in the local newspapers and magazines regularly because almost all small companies who need part-time employees use these columns for filling vacancies.
- A good way is to choose reputed stores or companies and send in your applications. If you visit the stores or companies in person and talk with the concerned people, you may get good part-time opportunities. But, when you go in person, you should present yourself neatly. It is better you have references of a few good people. You should have the names and contact details of these references so that these employers can do a check about your track-records and credentials before appointing you.
- You can take the help of employment offices or career counselors to get part-time jobs. Some of them offer free services also. Otherwise, you can do a good research and choose agencies that do not charge exorbitantly.
- You should maintain a record of the applications you have sent. By doing appropriate follow-ups, you can know the status of your applications. But, you should never over-do your follow-ups because prospective employers may think that you are pestering them.
- Many employers fill up such vacancies internally or through references and so, you should expand your contacts. If you develop a good rapport with everyone including strangers, you can use your network to land in a good part-time job. But, you should be sincere in developing such a relationship. You should not do this with selfish motives. People may come to know of your selfish attitude very soon.
You can use these tips appropriately and succeed in getting the right type of part-time job that may suit your needs perfectly.
