WELCOME BACK.
FINDING THE RIGHT PART-TIME JOB
CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.
WE INVITED CANDICE MOODY FROM
CAREER SOURCE NORTHEAST FLORIDA.
WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
>> A LOT OF OUR VIEWERS ARE
STAY AT HOME PARENTS OR MANY ARE
RETIRED AND FINDING A JOB IS
DIFFICULT BUT FINDING A
PART-TIME JOB CAN BE REALLY
CHALLENGING.
CAN YOU GIVE GUIDANCE ON HOW TO
APPROACH THE MARKET AND MAKE A
DECISION?
>> SURE.
YOU HAVE TO FIND THE COMBINATION
OF GOOD PAY AND STEADY HOURS AND
REALLY FLEXIBILITY.
SO THERE IS ONE SITE THAT I
RECOMMEND ALMOST ANYBODY.
AND THAT'S FLEXJOBS.COM.
THEY'RE A TERRIFIC SIT AND
SPECIALIZE -- THEY AS A MATTER
OF FACT SPECIALIZE IN PART-TIME
AND DISTANCE COMMUTING JOBS.
THEY GUARANTEE -- IT'S A PAID
SITE.
BUT A NOMINAL FEE EVERY MONTH.
THEY GUARANTEE ALL OF THE JOBS
ARE ACTUAL OPPORTUNITIES THE
VETTED WITH REAL EMPLOYERS AND I
THINK THAT'S A REAL GUARANTEE
AGAINST THE WORK AT HOME SCAMS.
>> SURE.
I WOU IMAGINE THAT'S A HUGE
PITFALL.
>> SURE. AND IF IT SOUNDS TOO
GOOD TO BE TRUE IT USUALLY IS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT JOB
FOR $20 AN HOUR WITH NO SKILL,
WALK AWAY.
>> HOST: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
LANDSCAPE OF JACKSONVILLE.
ARE THERE ANY JOBS THAT COME TO
MIND?
>> IT DEPENDS WHAT YOU WANT.
OF COURSE THERE IS TRADITIONAL
RETAIL.
THAT'S FLEXIBLE BUT DOESN'T
GUARANTEE A LOT OF HOURS AND
IT'S NOT REALLY CHALLENGING OR
REWARDING WORK.
HOME HEALTH WORK WORKS REALLY
WELL FOR OLDER PEOPLE.
YOU CAN ALSO WORK AS AN
ORGANIZER.
THAT COMES NATURALLY TO A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
I ALSO LOVE THE IDEA OF WEDDING
PLANNING OR EVENT PLANNING.
YOU CAN DO THAT PART-TIME BY
CONNECTING WITH SOMEBODY WHO
DOES IT FULL-TIME.
THERE ARE ALSO REALLY COOL
OPTIONS.
ONE THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF
IS ONLINE JURY VETTING.
YOU SERVE AS A FOCUS GROUP FOR
ATTORNEYS PLANNING A JURY TRIAL
AND THEY'LL PUT YOU INTO THE
RIGHT DEMOGRAPHIC AND YOU LISTEN
TO THE EVIDENCE AND TELL THEM
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING ALONG THE
WAY.
>> WOW.
THAT SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING,
FUN, AND YOU CAN PROBABLY
TELECOMMUTE ONLINE?
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S ONLINE.
YOU CAN ALSO DO THE SAME THING
WITH TUTORING.
THERE IS A HUGE HIGH SCHOOL
NETWORK THAT IS COMPLETELY
ONLINE.
TEACHING PEOPLE TO READ BETTER
OR WRITE ESSAYS FOR COLLEGE OR
TUTORING THEM IN SUBJECTS FROM
GRADE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL WE
WORK FOR AN ONLINE WORKER.
>> HOST: ANY UNUSUAL ONES THAT
CAUGHT YOUR EYE?
>> THE ONLINE JUROR.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE LYFT AND
UBER AS WELL.
EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE.
THOSE ARE REALLY ACCESSIBLE AND
YOU CREATE YOUR OWN HOURS.
YOU LITERALLY JUST TELL THE
COMPANY WHEN YOU'RE WORKING.
YOU DON'T GET THAT FLEXIBL
ILITY
WITH MOST PART-TIME JOBS.
>> HOST: A LOT OF THE JOBS ARE
VERY REWARDING.
ESPECIALLY THE HEALTH CARE ONES
AND REALLY IT RUNS THE GAMBIT
FROM BEING A STAY AT HOME
PARENT.
MAYBE SOMEBODY WHO IS RETIRED.
SO WHAT WAS THE WEBSITE AGAIN?
>> FLEXJOBS.COM.
AGAIN IT IS A PAID SITE BUT IT'S
A NOMINAL FEE AND WORTH IT TO
GET THE SECURITY KNOWING THEY'RE
REAL JOBS.
>> HOST: AND YOUR WEBSITE?
>>
