When should you tell your job your looking for a part time one?

I don't think that it's unreasonable at all SCG. I'm sure that you're a dedicated and hard working employee and thus a valuable member of the company, so they ought to give you fair dues there. I'm in a part time position in my company and when I need hours moved around they are very flexible. At least if they have a rigid set of days they can put you on, it's a routine. It could be worse, you could be asking them to base it week-by-week on different hours. Best of luck with it, I hope that they will be reasonable here and not take you off the schedule altogether.

I think that sounds fair. I hope they treat you fairly and do not get all huffy about it. I gave notice this morning, my full time job is too stressful. I still write online, and hubby and I do a lot of product demonstrations. Would Liberty Tax be a permanent job, or would it just be for tax season?

I'm not sure. Sometimes, even if a job doesn't give you enough hours, they want you to be available all the time so they don't want you to have another job. I hope your workplace is more understanding.

honestly, business is business so if it works for the business then they will be okay with it. If it puts them in a pickle and they can find someone easy who can work the shifts they want they will probably say no. Apply for a new job and find out what they want you for and then talk to your old employer. Maybe the new job might even be a better deal and you will end up quitting the old job. I was working full time at a general store. I got a part time job making $4 a hour more than the job at the general store. I ended up having to change my availability at the general store. However, I knew that the assistant managers were away on vacation and I was trained to replace them while they were gone. I was needed. Also, i was the most reliable of all the workers. I was also still able to work 4 nights a week. so it worked out for me because they needed me.

At least you can try to manage it like this. It is imposible for you to be in two jobs and do not handle it. After everybody could see it maybe at your results, so better for you is speak to them and try to find a best solution for both sides. It is sound fair for me to make it like this.

In my country you are not allowed to have more than one job at a time, if the acumulated time you work is more than 8 hours per day. I wanted to do the same thing last summer, but the laws prohibited me dooing it. Maybe there are different laws in your country. Good luck!

I think it depends on your relationship with your employer. I know my job is very flexible but they do expect you to be available on the weekends or for a good portion of the days you are able to work. Plus, the way things are and that they are not giving you alot of hours right now they should respect that you have bills to pay and it is only a tempoary position and hopefully by the time the position is over that your regular job will have you scheduled for more hours.

Sounds fair. i would probably not mention another job unless it came up. I had three jobs for a little over a year and I never told any of them. Ofcourse I didn't have to ask for scheduling changes or anything.

That definitely sounds fair. If they value as an employee at all they should comply and let you choose your own schedule like that. Plus, they have to understand that getting such little hours isn't enough to make a living. If they appreciate you as an employee, they will accommodate your needs in order to keep you as an employee. Good luck with everything! After my boss gets off maternity leave I think I'm going to get a second, part-time job (to go to after my full-time job) just for fun. And my primary employers better be alright with it!
