Part time work

[Miss_Bump]

I'm finding it SO hard to find part time work!

I'm looking for pretty much anything but the few positions I have applied for said i was over qualified!

Help!

Anyone know any decent job sites for p/t??

Im finding the same problem (and also in the south east) Im a qualified teacher with 4 years experience as head of department, there are no part time teaching jobs and everything else I look at they think I will just leave and go back to teaching so really struggling!

I had the same problem - it took me ages to find a part time job. In the end I accepted something that was pretty low paid and quite a few rungs down the ladder.

It seems that employers haven't yet grasped the concept of flexible working - it's full time or nothing in most professions.

I hope you find something soon xx

I have no advice, but I used indeed.co.uk to find my job.
I found it searched many places for me eg. directgov/council sites/gumtree/shop websites etc

hope to help

It's annoying being told "you're over qualified" Pfft! You'd think they would appreciate having someone with some experience and work ethic!

I got my job on Reed.co.uk
You can search by area, job type, full or part time, by wage and you can also search for jobs with immediate starts It also tells you how many people have applied for each job.

It definitley is difficult and I re-located whilst on Maternity leave late last year so was unable to transfer within the company I worked for!

I think it's daft how the government don't make it easy for us mums to return to work especially with the cost of childcare etc.

I have however started working for myself at home and am building my business, it maybe worth you looking down the similat route - Direct selling.
I wasn't sure at first but there are many different companies out there and if you do look into it, it's more a case of choosing one that you feel comfotable with and can relate to the products and be passionate about.

I choose the company I work for due to the family friendly products and the fact it's new to the UK so gives me huge potential to grow and the fact i love the products which sel themselves means i don't have to worry about 'selling' them.

I work it around my little girl and can work it how i want as there are so many different ways to sell and the flexibilty is fab.

I'm nor sure if this informaiton will help but just though I would suggest it as another option to look into, especially with the job market the way it currently is - more and more are considering this line of work.

If you would like to know more about the company I work for please just ask and i'll be happy to send some info but otherwise i hope this has helped a little and wish you well with everything and hope you find something suitable asap
