WorkLife Flexibility Primer: Tips on Making it Happen
#1 Attitude: Look at yourself as a progressive groundbreaker - there's no reason to be unworthy in any way. Go out there knowing that there's a place for you. More and more companies are making accomodations because of the tight job market and the statistics that show that employers who adapt to workers needs, get a more loyal worker.
#2 WorkLife Profile: Write a list of your needs. How many hours a week can you work and when. What kind of work do you want to do. Be specific, it's not just about creating an affirmation, but you want to have this ready for a potential employer. It will allow you to rule jobs out if they are not compatible.
#4 Freelance: Depending on the work you do - you might want to try a few freelance jobs or just project by project work. This will allow you to explore what it is you want to do - and truly how working again will impact your personal time.
#5 Performance: When approaching a new company - be sure to assure the employer why you are the best person for the job. Just because you're looking for flextime - doesn't mean you'll be any less committed to doing the job or project.
#6 Resume & Cover letter: Be sure your resume is ready at all times and updated. When you write a cover letter -you'll want to be honest that the lapses in time are due to family and having children - not being unduly unemployed.
#7 Consider telecommuting from home: As you look for a job, you'll find that more companies are actually looking for people to do this.
#8 You must check out this website it is amazing. Filled with ideas and suggestions for companies to approach: http://www.flexjobs.com/

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
