What are my options?
If you know that you want a full time job then obviously that is what you can concentrate your efforts on. If however, you feel that you need to be home in the school holidays or want to work just in school hours then there are a number of different options for you to consider. Flexible working is becoming more and more common and it may be that working part-time, temping or job sharing will help you juggle the demands of home and work.
Temping
If you don't want to commit yourself long term or want to be able to experience a mixture of different work situations before you do so, then temporary work could be the answer. The best way to find temporary work is through a reputable employment agency such as Kelly Services, which has over 100 branches nationwide. Kelly's Career Tips on Flexible Working will give you more information.
Job-sharing
This is when two people share the tasks of one job. When it works well it is a brilliant arrangement and often allows women to go into areas of work that aren't available to them on a part-time basis. However, before deciding you need to think about whether you could manage on half a wage and whether your type of work is suitable for job-sharing.
