Retail's busiest time is during the holidays. For the past 4 months, I have worked as a pseudo part-timer for 35 to 40 hours a week. Now that the holidays are over, I'm looking at about 15 to 18 hours a week. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that this was going to happen, but I didn't prepare for it as well as I should have.
I have to kick my career into gear. Ideally, I'd like to have a full-time entry-level job, but I may have to settle for a second part-time job to pay the bills. Not having a reliable source of income is making me nervous. I'd like to eventually do freelance work on the side, so I should practice staying calm in moments such as this. Perhaps you would like to join me in figuring out what I should do. If you see a connection that I don't, let me know. Fresh eyes are always helpful.
