I’ve been offered and accepted a part time job. It’s contract work, so no benefits, but it is what I have been doing and the pay rate mediocre at best. But it is skilled labor and on the outskirts of my field and for a company that is VERY HIGHLY respected in my field.
So beginning in January, I will get between 15-25 hours a week which I can work from home at my leisure. I figured that it’s great to know I will have some money coming beginning in January and it’s something I can do in conjunction with another job until I get back on my feet…firmly back on my feet!
So yeah! The job hunt is still on…looking for full time, corporate work with benefits and maybe Relocation Expenses or a Signing Bonus!
Hope is a resourceful, solutions-driven online business manager with over two decades of experience helping clients streamline operations, manage projects, and grow their businesses through digital marketing and technology.
But life has a way of rewriting your plans.
A year ago, Hope made the decision to move in with her aging parents full time – a season she wouldn’t trade, even as it came with its own financial and emotional weight. Earlier this year, she lost her mother, and is now walking the tender, disorienting path of grief while learning what “forward” looks like from here.
Hope came to the Blogging Away Debt community in 2015 as a single mom raising five foster and adoptive children. She’s written through job changes, financial setbacks, and the bittersweet transition to an empty nest. Her kids are finding their footing in the world now – and so is she.
Rooted in faith and fueled by the same perseverance she’s brought to every hard season, Hope is ready to face her finances with fresh eyes and an honest pen. She believes that clarity, courage, and community can change the trajectory of anyone’s story including her own.
She lives in Austin, TX with her dad, loves adventures with her dog Addie, and is figuring out, one step at a time, what this next chapter is meant to be.
Excellent!! It must be such a relief to know you’ll have income starting in January! And it will be nice to have a good name on your resume, too.
Awesome! That’s wonderful news!!!
Congrats! Take this as an affirmation of your skills and keep looking up. Surely something fulltime will come your way soon.
Congratulations! That is excellent news.
Nice job, Hope! Every little bit counts.
Hope, you should feel so proud of how you’ve handled this tough situation. You’re doing great.
Congrats! Hopefully the position may turn to full-time work!
Hi Hope. Congrats on the PT job.
