PART TIME WORK

You’re not alone if you’re juggling the demands of work and the rest of life. Research has shown that an imbalance between work and life can lead to stress, fatigue, increased expectations, and lost time with family and friends. Enter part-time jobs, regular, contract-based jobs that do not need employees to check in at the office 24x7.

A part-time job entails working a pre-agreed number of hours each day or each week. These jobs can be within morning, afternoon, evening or night shifts. Part-time jobs are ideal for people who can’t afford to take up full-time employment either because of conditions at home (ageing parent, sick child, etc.) or because they want a healthy work-life balance.

1. HR Recruiter

Many headhunting firms employ part-timers to meet the growing demand for talent. Jobs include taking telephonic interviews of candidates, co-ordinating meetings between the company and candidates, and maintaining records. The job does not require any special qualification or eligibility, although an HR course helps.

2. Career Counsellor

With students becoming increasingly career conscious, career counsellors are in great demand. Many career counselling companies employ part-timers whose job includes administering psychological tests to candidates, counselling candidates considering a career change, advising students on career options, etc. New recruits usually undergo a short career counselling course.

Part-time jobs can provide a steady source of income while offering a healthy work-life balance.

3. Content Writer/Editor

If you have a flair for writing, a part-time content writing or editing job could be a great option. The job may include technical writing, writing marketing material for companies, contributing to updates on social media, and keeping the company website updated.

4. Web Designer

Many young and rising companies are on the lookout for part-time web designers. The job, which requires knowledge of graphic design and software programming, entails creating the look and layout of a website, apart from maintenance and updating the site.

5. Tutor

Providing home tuition to school- and college-going students is a relatively simple way of making decent money. Good home tutors coaching children of high net worth individuals can make up to a few lakhs per month from the job. Having the right academic qualifications is necessary to build a reputation as a credible home tutor.
