Let The Job Searching Begin
So I mentioned in my last post that I am looking for a new job. For those who aren’t already in the loop – I’m currently on leave from my current position and I am supposed to be returning this month. It’s not a secret that I love a lot of things about my job. But it is also a very high stress job and, as a contract/commission worker, doesn’t include any of the regular perks of employment like EI, benefits, predictable paychecks, etc.
When I returned to work, my youngest was just starting kindergarten and while my job gave me a great deal of flexibility to work around their schedules, it still meant a lot of time away and a very tired mom in the evenings. The stress levels haven’t been great for family life either. Anyway – Dave and I are also currently working on plans to add to our family – which makes the lack of benefits and EI (aka Maternity Leave) that much more important.
So – here is what I am currently looking for:
- A job that will allow me to work only 3-4 days per week with hours that can accommodate Dave’s work and the kids’ school schedules, pays hourly and offers the opportunity to qualify for mat. leave/parental leave when the time comes.
Yeah – that’s about it lol. In the mean time, I am also working on a few other at home projects that will allow me to suppliment my income so that I don’t need to work full time.
