Your Job, Your Rules: Exploring Flexible Work That Fits Your Life
Many job seekers look for flexibility when deciding where to work. Flexibility in the workplace enables employees to fulfill personal responsibilities and spend more time with family and friends.
Understanding which types of jobs to look for helps job seekers find flexibility in the workplace. The following suggestions might support your lifestyle.
Categories of Flexible Work
Four types of flexible work include:
Temporary Jobs
Temporary jobs can have a long-term impact:
- Many employers offer temporary jobs to fill vacancies due to extended absences, such as maternity or paternity leave.
- Temporary workers can explore industries, companies, and roles without a long-term commitment.
- Adapting to new work environments and teams while developing new skills supports ongoing employment opportunities.
- Temporary jobs can transition into full-time employment.
Part-Time Jobs
Part-time jobs offer more flexibility than full-time jobs:
- Part-time employees work fewer than 40 hours per week.
- Many employees work more than one part-time job to earn a full-time income.
- Working two or more part-time jobs offers income security.
- Part-time employees can learn new skills and network to find future jobs.
Seasonal Jobs
Similar to temporary jobs, seasonal jobs last for a set time during periods of high demand:
- Retailers, summer theme parks, and sports venues are among the industries that offer seasonal jobs throughout the year.
- Seasonal workers can work in different industries and earn additional income without a long-term commitment.
- Developing new skills through seasonal work looks great on a resume.
- Many seasonal jobs turn into full-time jobs for dedicated workers.
Contract Work
Contract roles offer a unique type of employment:
- Independent contractors are self-employed.
- Contractors can work part-time or full-time for more than one employer.
- Employers typically don’t provide benefits, withhold taxes, or pay into workers’ compensation for independent contractors.
- Independent contractors choose where and when to complete tasks on time and to the company’s expectations.
