Due to the pandemic, it’s taking longer to find a full-time job in your area of interest. We field questions all the time on whether it makes sense to grab a part-time job while you continue to search for your full-time gig.
Listed below are the benefits of working a part-time job as you continue to look for your dream job:
- You finally earn money to be able to pay your expenses
- You will be learning new skills which will help you during future interviews. Examples might include:
- Solving Problems
- Being Strategic/Creative
- Being Detailed/Organized
- Building relationships with your co-workers which could help you network during your full-time search
- Get out of the house(during the pandemic) and have a purpose each day- get your parents off your back 🙂
- It might even make you more efficient during your job search and develop new habits
- Learn what you like and don’t like about a company’s culture and your immediate boss’s management style
