How To Expand Your Part-Time Job Search Beyond The Corporate World

How To Expand Your Part-Time Job Search Beyond The Corporate World pexels.com   Check Out Local Institutions No matter where you live or where you want to move, there are a few institutions that basically every community possesses. And unless you check you will not know if they are hiring. There are museums, theaters, libraries and more. You do not need to check out the huge city and state-run organizations but check out non-profit organizations that appeal to you. The same jobs that corporations are looking to fill, these little organizations also offer the same jobs. Do accounting or book keeping? Have office experience? These organizations require employees with the same skills, just set towards a different goal. Working for a smaller organization might even be more fulfilling if you care about the mission and the work that the organization does. They might not have job listings on their website or have postings on job boards like big corporate companies. You will probably need to do some leg work and scope the places out for yourself to see if they are hiring or even interested in creating a new position. You can network and volunteer to make yourself known and useful. It might take a little bit more work to find a part-time job and apply for it at one of these local institutions but, for you, it might be a lot more fulfilling in the long run. Connect Via Your Religious Institution If you are religious, or even if you are not, there are lots of religious institutions anywhere that you go. Use this as a hook-up to find a job that is more interesting and appealing to you. They can offer many other jobs besides one that is religious in nature. Every organization is, at its core, a business and the same technical positions need to be filled at every one. If that religious institution does not have any open jobs, they might be able to connect you to other religious institutions in the area that do. You can also connect with congregants, many of which might be affiliated with the same kinds of organizations that you want to work for. There are federations and other forms of groups that you can find interesting work with. pexels.com Discover Local Businesses There are plenty of businesses where you live that are not corporate organizations as well and they are often looking for hard working employees with a different kind of outlook on life, one that is not compatible with working in a corporate setting. They could be the perfect fit for you â€" you just need to go seek them out. Art galleries, little bakeries, and boutique shops are just a few examples. They might have smaller staffs and be less public with their job postings as well because they want to be more selective. Working at a small, local business is definitely different than working in a corporate setting. At a corporate organization, you can be just a small fish in a big pond where you will not know that many people (especially those outside your department). But at a local organization, everyone knows everyone and you are all working together. They are looking for just the right person to complement the work environment and family that they have already established. Community Culture Job Boards Another great place to branch out in your search for a part-time job out of the corporate world is the job boards of the local council of culture and arts. Most towns and cities have one, though you will need to check how active yours is. But they often list exclusive job postings for local arts and culture organizations so if you check there, you might get an inside scoop on open jobs at the kinds of places that are not corporate and that you might be interested in working at. They often send out newsletters which you can sign up for or post about the job openings on their Facebook page, if they have one, as well that you can follow to stay up to date.
