Whether you have a dream and want to pursue it or you’re lost and have no idea what to do the answer is to get a part-time job.
The way the world works is changing and yet some things remain the same. One mainstay of growth in these turbulent times is the value of part-time work. Perhaps more importantly is that the role part-time work plays in our lives is on the verge of becoming more prominent. I see part-time work as central to the new economy with many of us working for various entities in “full-time-part-time” scenarios in the future. Imagine having three part-time jobs that add up to more money and satisfaction than one full-time job.
Harness the powers of a part-time job by closely examining what a part-time job really is. Let’s leave all preconceived notions behind and view a part-time job as any effort you make outside of your full-time job. It doesn’t have to be something awful and it doesn’t have to even be a real job when you start doing it. For example, consider starting your own business as a part-time job and you will see what I mean.
Why is part-time work the answer?
Opportunity. If you take a part-time job in an area you want to go into, it gives people a chance to see your work without taking on all of the full-time employee costs.
Networking. Almost every part-time job means growing your network outside of the usual suspects.
Learning. Use a part-time experience to learn ANYTHING. Constant learning is critical in today’s work world.
Money. Oh yeah, that too.
Who should work part-time?
Everyone. But of course I don’t mean CEOs and millionaires, right? Wrong. Here’s a little secret CEOs and millionaires know–they already have part-time jobs. Most successful people don’t leave their big time positions at 5 o’clock and go sit on the couch at night. They serve on multiple corporate Boards, give speeches at schools, help non-profits, and may even run other companies.
You. I know you don’t have time, you don’t know where to begin, and it all feels overwhelming. Those are problems you can overcome. Trust me, if you just start thinking differently about many of these obstacles they will soon crumble. The first thing you need to do is to not hear “part-time job” and feel it’s a bad thing. For two weeks straight allow yourself to think of a part-time job as something fun.
How to work part-time?
Follow your passion. This is your chance to do something you like. So do it. If you like knitting, sell knitted socks. If you love bowling, write advice on how to win and post it online. If you make the best apple pies, start selling them around the holidays. Don’t take on a part-time job you hate unless you promise yourself it is only a stepping stone.
Start small. Don’t quit your day job. Use your weekends wisely. Work long hours? That’s okay, start your own business by paying attention to it for 20 minutes per day, every single day. Like compound interest, it will add up.
Help someone. Find a need and fill it. Drive an older person to the grocery store. Fix someone’s leaky faucet. Give fashion advice to the prom crowd. Helping others is the best way to help you.
Changing the way you think of part-time work is the first step in pursuing your passions, career advancement, and personal growth. In 20 minutes a day you can launch a new world of opportunities. This is how the world works.

It may happen to you at some point in your career. There’s a surprising round of layoffs, or a merger leaves you on the outs, or you just got fired. Perhaps you are in a bad work situation and just feel you need to get away from it all.
You need a new job – fast!
In times when you must move quickly, be deliberate and thoughtful in your actions. We’re going to have some fun with the Pareto principle to help us along. (Pareto purists–please don’t write me!)
Developed by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto in the early 20th century, Pareto’s principle says that 80 percent of the effects of something come from 20 percent of the causes. Let’s use this idea to help you get a new job fast.
Resume, Network, Interview
Eighty percent of the way to a new job is going to rely on 20 percent of your actions. Or think of it this way: you absolutely MUST have a good resume, a strong network, and do well in the interview to get a job fast. So make sure you have each one locked down. Other factors may include references, experience, and referrals which can all seal the deal, but you need that first 20 percent.
You’re On Sale
We can use the Pareto principle to make another point. A common rule of thumb in business is that 80 percent of your sales come from 20 percent of your customers. Picture yourself as a product and your network as a group of customers. Twenty percent of your contacts are your big fans, the most vocal fans, and the most aggressive fans. Identify those people and reach out to them often.
Time Management Means Success
Before we put the Pareto principle away for a while, how about we use it to look at time management? If you must continue to work at your current job while looking for a new one, you will have little time to waste. Get organized! Spending time on the right 20 percent is a must. Get a calendar and write down everything. Then highlight and do the things that are most important first.
Lastly, don’t panic
When you panic you cannot think clearly and the results will fall short. How not to panic? Celebrate small milestones along the way. Maybe making a new contact that will eventually lead to a new job. As long as you maintain the momentum, your efforts will eventually pay off.

You have done a great job at interviewing for a job and now you sit by the phone and wait for it to ring, right? Wrong.
After impressing everyone at the interview you came home and sent a thank you note not just to the person interviewing you, but also to anyone who attended and sat in on the actual interview. Make sure to spell names correctly; it would be a shame to blow it now by accidentally turning a “Mr.” into a Ms.”
Immediately after that you need to turn your head toward positions elsewhere, not allowing yourself to become complacent but rather to use the success of this interview to buoy you to another. Doing begets doing.
As you begin to look into other options you may even hear the telephone ring with an offer. At first they might simply be requesting a second interview. In many industries this is a necessary step and you might even be asked to come back a third time. Remember that the same principles apply to each interview: be impressive and be consistent.
Depending on your industry there may also be a background check and reference check. Best to contact references even if they know you are using their names, and alert them to any particulars from the previous interview so that they might be better ready to answer specific questions.
When the process is over and an offer is made, take a few deep breaths before answering even if you already know what you want. Don’t feel pressured to say yes on the spot. Tell the hiring manager how happy you are to hear from them and that you are certainly interested but would like a chance to discuss this offer with your family.
We know how easy it is to jump at the first offer when you need a job but look at the offer closely just to make sure you understand what the offer is and how it may suit you. Any business would rather you decline an offer that isn’t right than accept the position only to leave soon after so consider these aspects of the offer before your answer:
Money – Obviously this is one of the primary reasons for taking the job so make sure this job gives you enough to pay bills but also that the amount is enough to make you feel you are being paid what you’re worth. If not, you will only have resentment later.
Benefits – Take a long look at the benefits package if there is one. Find out what amounts you are being asked to contribute and see how entering into family plans affect the package. Also ask when the benefits kick in, which sometimes may be as long as ninety days. Other important considerations are vacation time and 401K contributions.
Travel – If it wasn’t specifically enunciated during the interview they might present how much travel the position will involve. Make sure it is in line with your capabilities.
Culture – What is the dress code? Are you expected to attend many social events? Are your religious holidays on their holiday calendar? Do some research before deciding how to respond to the offer.
Goals – Lastly take a look at how this position fits into your future career and life plans.
You may end up accepting or declining a job on the phone, but it also may be a good idea to follow up in writing to confirm the details. In this letter or email make certain to again thank them for the offer and state your decision clearly as well as the general terms of the agreement. Either way be brief and grateful.
Congratulations. It’s been a long hard road but you have done everything you can to put yourself in a position for success. Keep in mind this job is an opportunity to achieve your dreams and have an idea of how it fits into your overall life plan. Even if it isn’t the ideal position you should take the attitude that you can turn this position into something more than it was intended to be.
With your new position and new dreams in place you are now well on your way to becoming all that you can be. You did it. Dream on!

The job market is showing promise with the best statistics since 2001, according to the Labor Department. If you are looking for work or even if you have given up looking, now is the time to job search.
There were 4.7 million job openings on the last day of June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other signs of hope surround the report which was released on August 12. The number of openings is the most recorded in 13 years.
What does all this mean for you?
It means a few things. These jobs openings vary from region to region. The Northeast has 791,000 openings, while the Midwest, 1,044,000, the West, 1,057,000, and the South, 1,780,000. With population densities different in each of those areas it may mean there’s a better chance of landing what you want in another region. Should you relocate? That depends.
Where to look.
Each region has different types of job openings. There are also other factors to consider, cost of living expenses and lifestyle, for example, all play a role. Industries like finance and education are going to be stronger in regions with urban communities while other regions might offer more manufacturing opportunities. Then there companies like Amazon which announced approximately 6,000 openings at various shipping centers all around the county. So see the big picture before renting that van.
What about the many part-time job openings out there?
If you see a part-time job for a career you like or might have a future in, take the job. These jobs are great for getting in the door and proving yourself. Remember–many times these companies are only offering you part-time until you prove your value.
Here’s the most important thing to understand about this.
These are openings that increased by 100,000 from the previous month which means more job openings are being created, but are not being filled. The reasons for this vary but one obvious one is a poorly prepared labor market.
Employers are taking their time hiring, making specific choices based on lots of data. If you want these jobs you need to meet the challenge, but learning is good and you would be surprised at how easy it is to get with the times.
Make sure your resume is up to snuff. Optimizing it for keywords can help a lot.
Sharpen your interview skills. Know what you want and know what they want.
Present yourself online. Understand that potential employers have Google too.
Learn technology. Take a course or just read–but getting even a little technical knowledge can change your career path.
This report is optimistic, so let this news drive you to look for what you want. Let’s keep an eye for the next report due out on the employment situation which is scheduled to be released on September 5.

The first alarm goes off and just as you are about to hit snooze, a second, louder alarm goes off and it might be then that you remember me saying what a good idea it was to set two alarms the day of your big interview.
Having laid your clothes out the night before and with at least three copies of your resume in a nice folder or briefcase along with those same two working pens from our past story, you’re ready to go. And of course you have the address and phone number of the interview location written down on a piece of paper, because the night before you went online and found directions to the company.
As you make your way to the interview, stay relaxed and avoid cramming last bits of information into your head. The time to get your game face on is before you leave the house not right before you enter the building. Be confident, smile at those you see along the way, and leave those voices of self-doubt at home.
Arrive early. I cannot say this too many times. If you are late you will reduce to nearly zero your chances of even being considered for the job. Being late for an interview is always unacceptable – but it happens, so if it does, apologize to everyone once as you arrive and once as you leave. No more or less. After that you will need to blow them away with the interview itself, but don’t keep mentioning your tardiness.
When you walk through the door remember to feel confident that you are the right person for this job because you are. Make certain to look people in the eye when conversing and when seated be comfortable in the chair without slouching.
Now come those questions we rehearsed. Piece of cake, right? Be yourself when you answer but remember to be the best possible self you can be. Allow yourself to be enthusiastic about the opportunity, but always be sincere. Hiring managers are pretty good at sniffing out insincerity.
Another important point that I mentioned in my story about phone interviews, is that your listening skills are a crucial component of what people think of you. Staying calm will help. This is why staying calm helps so much. It keeps you looking confident but it also prevents you from anticipating answers and interrupting.
When the interview is coming to a close, make sure you have that one question ready when they ask: “Do you have any questions for us?” If you have other questions you can add those too, but remember to know the difference between a question and a concern. Don’t bring up “concerns” yet such as pressing on issues dealing with pay, vacation time, or holidays because you can always deal with these when an offer is made as we will discuss next time. For now keep questions pertinent to the position and focus on getting the job. It’s much better if you can show your insight into a position by asking a truly pointed question about the workflow, strategy or process involved.
When the interview is over thank everyone – and I mean everyone, including receptionists and doormen. Smile and shake hands when necessary and as soon as you get home fill out that thank you and send it off. Mention something particular about the process that you appreciated in the thank you message, and remember to thank the interviewer for his or her time.
Now make sure your phone is on at all times and start daydreaming about being employed there. Remember when I last spoke about daydreaming? Seems like an age ago now doesn’t it?
Good work.

We have arrived. You got the call, you flew through the phone interview (see our previous story) and now they want to meet you. It’s time for the interview.
I want to make sure we emphasize the importance of this interview by taking two entries to cover it dividing this opportunity into the “pre-interview” phase and “the interview.” Ultimately the interview will decide whether you get the job because people hire people and not resumes, so take a lot of time to prepare for this meeting.
In the pre-interview phase we could say there are two main areas to address, the mental and the physical.
The physical aspects include not only your general appearance and outfit, but also your body language and eye contact. Research tells us that as much as 85 percent of communication is nonverbal. So make a task list and start with these tips:
Plan out exactly what you will wear two days before (if possible) and when in doubt, go with something conservative unless you know otherwise.
On colors—know the rules before you break them. Blue and navy are good choices, grays are also usually a good choice, and with a white shirt or blouse it always looks professional. Wear strong colors like black and red as accents to show your personality.
For women wear closed toe shoes and plain hosiery. And for men, make sure your shoes are freshly shined.
This may sound ridiculous but if you can get a friend to help, ask them to interview you. Notice your body language and eye contact. Practice a few times until you can sit straight and look them in the eye in a natural, confident way.
The other part of your preparation is mental. This means preparing your mind to handle anything you might be asked about. Start by knowing answers to the basic questions always asked during an interview such as:
“Tell me a little bit about you.”
”Why do you want to work here?”
“Why did you leave your last job?”
“Do you have any questions for us?” (Street tip: Have one but keep it positive, extremely simple and related to a work aspect of the job – not a benefit.)
If you really want this job you must do research. On them and on you. Here is a checklist for further mental preparation:
Know your resume by heart.
Know all of your strengths and your ONE or TWO weaknesses.
Know your life story.
Know how to summarize your life story.
Know how to summarize your life story using only the highlights.
Know the history of the company you’re interviewing.
Know what the company has interests in and what kind of image and marketing it does if any.
Know what the company website and all of its social media tools look like.
Know the job description.
Know the person or people interviewing you.
Prepare a basic thank you letter, note or email simply to have it ready to fill in with details and send the moment you get home.
I could make this list so much longer but I think it’s important for everyone to start here and then work out with a goal of gaining as much knowledge and practice at interviewing as possible.

Technology has long promised to level the various playing fields it encompasses, and if this were to hold true then one can imagine a collective cheer coming from every working woman in the nation. Though things aren’t as neat and tidy in the real world it still seems as though opportunities and rewards for women in the field of technology and computer sciences are growing.
One of the only apparent barriers to entry for women in technology might be simple awareness. A manifestation of this is that technology companies generally market to men first – releasing “feminine” versions of a product only later.
An Ultra Light Startups Event at NYU
In trying to gain a better view of the landscape we decided to begin with a startup tech community built around a monthly pitch competition at Ultra Light Startups, (a.k.a. ‘ULS’) the largest and most active startup-investor pitch community on the East Coast, with current locations in New York and Boston, with a new post in Silicon Valley. Ultra Light was founded by Graham Lawlor who was also kind enough to sit down with us after the event.
Ultra Light events are held once a month and their panel of experts boasts top industry people from all the leading companies. How it works is this: software startups that meet the requirements apply to pitch as long as they have their website or mobile app in at least a testing or working state (this phase of development is often called a “beta” version of the website or app). These companies submit for the roughly 8 to 12 slots to be chosen each month and then those slots are given a chance to pitch in front of a live audience directly to the guest panel made up of highly successful entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Think Shark Tank without the goofy shtick and canned background music.
Ultra Light was created around the idea of bootstrapping, which is entrepreneurial speak for growing your company without (or with very little) investor money. The idea is to utilize creativity and efficiency to be as self-sustaining as possible, allowing the entrepreneur more control and more to negotiate with when the time for investment truly comes. Many of the companies pitching are often at the point where they are seeking investors for the first time or after the “friends and family phase” which means generally companies that are self-funded up to $50,000 or $100,000. Sometimes this money is referred to as “seed money” which is generally higher risk but with more enticing upsides. Venture Capitalists, or “VC’s” as they are called, are usually corporate funds that invest in return for partial equity and anyone who attends an Ultra Light event hopes that his or her company or product attracts an eager VC. Sounds easy right? Well, it’s not.
The Event at Microsoft
Competition is fierce for these monthly slots and though the application process is stream-lined and designed to get more people involved, it also means the amount of applicants can spike and Graham is left with some difficult decisions. However Graham is known for being an inspiring community leader who will always try to get the best companies a slot even if he has to add one or two extra.
And if you get accepted then the real fun begins. You must follow the pitch format which I have listed here from the ULS website:
The startup founder gives a 2 minute pitch
Each pitch is followed by 3 minutes of Q&A. Questions will come primarily from the panel but also may come from the audience.
Finally, each startup will receive 3 minutes of advice from the panel. During this section, the startup founder is only listening, not responding.
Each pitch is only two minutes – something to consider when pitching anything in life, whether it be for an idea, a project or for yourself in an interview – keep it short, make a point and practice, practice, practice!
At Ultra Light your pitch must cover the following information:
Basics: Your name and title, your company’s name
Business Summary: Product/service description and revenue model
Revenue model: How do you make money
Management Team
Target Market: Target audience/customer
Sales/Marketing Strategy
Competitive Analysis
One of the many things I liked about the Ultra Light events I attended were that they were always packed with enthusiastic people who were all friendly and accessible. Graham has worked hard to balance that professionalism with his core philosophy of bringing people together in a casual setting to discuss innovative ideas. And in keeping true to its roots as a bootstrapping startup itself, the event also orders enough free pizza for all of its hundreds of attendees; perhaps a tongue-in-cheek homage to the up-all-night coders and programmers who help to build these sites.
Finally the pitches are given and after the Q&A the audience votes via Survey Monkey – while a live feed captures the votes and instantly awards a winner at the end. It’s a fun way to do business if you ask me.
The winner of the pitch contest gets an assorted bag of helpful services that alone many would covet as a prize, but the real victory comes in bringing your company to the attention of the experts or any attending investors. Numerous pitches at Ultra Light have landed their founders funding, support, and sensational advice which all can turn your little startup into a major player if you can then turn around and produce as promised.
These days there are many events across the country that are popping up in all sorts of shapes and sizes and in every major city – even in some smaller metropolitan and rural areas. Which leads us to the first great aspect of working in technology: you can do it from anywhere. So yes, technology has somewhat leveled the geographical playing field and its associated companies can now be located anywhere, and even maybe more important that mentality extends to the workplace in many of these companies as you see people working together in teams from all around the country, and moms working from home while not missing a beat.
The Ultra Light events are always well-attended often selling out, but no data is kept on attendees so any hope for a gender ratio is not possible. However a visual headcount estimate I took it appears that the event is approximately 15 to 30 percent female. I found out later in my discussion with Graham that what’s truly special about the women that do attend is that many have won the pitch contest. A great example is Megan Burton of CoinX (a platform for buying digital currency) who finished with the largest margin of victory ever – garnering nearly 85 percent of the vote which is more than 30 percent more than the second best margin. So advantage number two about technology is that it really is all about your work. If you have a great company or product, anyone can compete.
Graham Lawlor
I sat down with Graham recently at his Soho office loft he communally shares with other up and coming startups, and I asked him a few questions:
You have events in Boston, New York and now Silicon Valley, were there reasons why you started in these locations?
Well some of it was because this is where I was obviously, on the East Coast in New York, and then it was for these cities initial leadership in the field as the hubs of technology, that also helped make the decision easier. It’s always easier to start where the people are but we are now seeing expansion rapidly as people realize we can have an Ultra Light just about anywhere. The important thing for me is getting good people to run it, for instance in Boston, I have a long time colleague Cris DeLuca who handles everything in that chapter and he is so outstanding and so many people like him, it really allows me to expand and grow.
Do you see women having any obvious advantages or disadvantages when aspiring to work in the tech and startup field?
As far as disadvantages I see none at all to my knowledge. The one terrific thing about technology is that it truly is a meritocracy. Good people, good products, good thinking, it all eventually rises to the top.
What are the higher paying positions in the field that attract the most talent?
Definitely engineering and designers. In tech everything is always changing so jobs can be hot for a few years and then a new cycle appears. For instance UX designers in particular are in high demand now. And I should add salespeople are always in demand – good salespeople can really help grow a company and are not always easy to find.
(Note: UX designers create the optimal experience for the user on websites, apps and basically any interface with a screen – their job is to think so when you go to a site you don’t have to!)
Are there any women that have contributed a lot to the tech world and who do you think more people should know about?
Oh sure and I won’t be able to name even a fraction here. I don’t want to leave anyone out, but there are some obvious ones like Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman of HP, Laurel Touby who started mediabistro.com and is a frequent panelist at Ultra Light. Also I should mention the ladies who run Gilt Group, even though they have an entire team with them they are the face of that company which has been quite successful.
Lastly Graham can you give us some advice for anyone out there interested in changing jobs so they can work in the tech and startup field? How about if they do not have a computer science degree or are at later stages in their careers? Any advice?
I always say bring a value to the company and they will at least listen. Don’t show up saying you want a job or you can “help out” in any general way. Startups stay lean for a reason and they only want someone who can fix an existing problem. So do your research, and if you have a specialty apply it to their most pressing issues and see if you can propose a solution. Offering to do Pro Bono work up front to prove yourself is a great way to open a discussion rather than simply looking to see what you can gain. In the end you must provide value. The good news is that tech startups can be a bit more accessible than traditional corporations so if you really want it, keep at it.
Good advice Graham. Not just for tech jobs but for anything you want to do in your career.

As many as one in six job interviews now begins on the phone. Companies looking to save time and money choose to pre-screen applicants on the telephone rather than with a face-to-face meeting.
For some, this development is good news. Imagine sitting at home in sweatpants and flip-flops, drinking coffee from a favorite mug, and still interviewing for that dream job. Other applicants who do much better in an actual meeting may regard this trend as a lost opportunity.
No matter your point of view, the phone interview may be a necessary step in your job search. See it as your chance to shine so that even before the conversation is over, you will be assured of winning that in-person interview.
My advice? Prepare for that phone interview as you would were it an actual interview – because it is! The goal here is two-fold: to impress the interviewer with who you are, and to get that face-to-face interview. (We’ll discuss this next time).
Do your homework. Learn about the company, the people, and the position you are applying for. What strengths will you bring to the job and to the company? In the days of search engines like Google and Bing, employers think it insulting not to know the basics.
You won’t have to worry about what to wear or bring to the interview, but there are important ways to prepare:
If you can, always use a landline. If you don’t have access to one, then charge your cell phone or plug it in. Yes, it’s a bad thing if your phone drops the call.
If you are on a cell phone, find a quiet area to sit and make sure the connection is excellent. One more time – yes, it’s a bad thing if your phone drops the call.
Get some water ready. You don’t realize how dry you may get when you are talking for a length of time and your adrenaline is pumping.
Get your resume out, your cover letter, notes, and any correspondences along with blank pieces of paper and two pens. Yes, two pens, you know one always runs out.
Tell anyone in the house or location not to walk in or disturb you. Pets should be out of barking distance.
Now comes the hard part. Stay focused and listen. Listening is as important to an interviewer as speaking. If the person on the other end of the phone feels you are interrupting or not paying attention, you are less likely to make it to the next round.
Speak confidently and be yourself. It does help to be conversational even when talking about your accomplishments. Rehearse beforehand and go through a list of possible questions. Be positive. You may find that you actually enjoy speaking to the person on the other end of the line.
Before you hang up, make sure you have the interviewer’s contact information so that you can send a “thank you” as a followup. (See my previous story).

Who should work part-time?
