Download or read book Guide to securing part time jobs that fit your schedule written by Laura Malfere and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Finding a part-time job to fit your schedule can be a challenge at the best of times, but when you are trawling through the job market during a post-recession era, it becomes much more difficult. You find yourself suddenly pitted against thousands of candidates who all search for the same flexibility, and as a result, you need to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Whether you are a busy parent, a student, or someone who is looking for additional income, all hope is not lost when it comes to finding a part-time job. Most people fail to find part-time jobs because they do not think outside the box. Another common issue is a lack of persistence; finding part-time work is hardly ever easy, so it is necessary to try harder than you would with full-time jobs. By focusing on how you can make the most of your skills, and getting back up each time you are knocked down, you will place yourself on the path to success. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK 2. Consider working in a restaurant or bar. One of the best sources for part-time work that can fit around schedule is a restaurant or bar. If you are over the age of 21 and able to serve alcohol, you should begin applying for bar jobs. As bars operate on a later basis than most other businesses, they are ideal for those who have daytime commitments. 3. Work from home. If working outside of the home doesn’t strike your fancy, and a restaurant or bar job is still not flexible enough, you should consider working from home. The internet may be full of scams that are prepared to rip off hard working people, but if you scratch beneath the surface, it is possible to find a work-from-home opportunity that can act as a great resource of flexible part time work. Jobs where you can operate from home usually require more thinking outside the box than other positions, so think hard about the options that you can explore... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book Deep Work written by Cal Newport and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2O16 PICK IN BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER A BUSINESS BOOK OF THE WEEK AT 800-CEO-READ Master one of our economy’s most rare skills and achieve groundbreaking results with this “exciting” book (Daniel H. Pink) from an “exceptional” author (New York Times Book Review). Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. 1. Work Deeply 2. Embrace Boredom 3. Quit Social Media 4. Drain the Shallows A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.
