Looking for part-time work in retirement to stay busy and fulfilled? We have tips on finding unconventional work:
I recently retired from my corporate job and enjoyed being in the office each day. Financially, I am secure but I’m not ready to quit working altogether. I’m looking for a part-time job that will satisfy my desire to be around people while not overtaxing me. Any ideas for ideal part-time jobs? The best part-time jobs don’t announce themselves. You need to ask around and find them.
“Think about why you are looking for a job,” said Allison Task, a career and life coach in Montclair, N.J. “You can get a job, but a job has requirements. If you’re financially secure, maybe you should broaden your view to include volunteer work, a board seat or joining a community group” like the Village to Village Network.
The next step is to identify your interests and strengths—or what management theorists call “core competencies.” What do you do better than most people? What traits do you possess that set you apart? Thanks to your financial security, you have the luxury of turning a longtime hobby into part-time income. Task cites a family friend who retired at age 55 after a satisfying career working in a steel mill.
Deb Mitchell is a career and executive coach at Crossworks, an Ohio-based career counseling firm. To help clients match their personality, interests and experience with a job, she administers a personality assessment.Networking also opens doors for retirees in search of work. Ask your former colleagues for advice and use them as a sounding board. If you belong to membership organizations or professional associations, tap their resources to uncover fresh opportunities.
