I've thought about it, because I could certainly use some extra cash. Twenty hours a week would be perfect. Willing to take a less pay, if the employer wants to pay me under the table.  I'm 77, still in pretty good shape. Will be actively looking for something in 2012.

In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job?: In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job? : I hear your pain and I'm sure there are a lot of others on here who have their own experiences with veiled discriminatory practices! But what I found was that I could continue to beat myself up because job searching wasn't going anywhere or I could take what was happening and turn it around for myself and a lot of other folks. I have a home based business and I am always looking for talent to partner up with. I especially enjoy working with the more mature person and love helping others earn the level of income they are seeking. Feel free to contact me if you would like to take a look at what I am doing. You never know, it just might be the thing you have been looking for! Posted by mrslabel What type of home based business do you have? |

In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job?: Has anyone did a hobby and turned it into selling items? Posted by edogmom Yes. My husband and I once made unique wooden items such as toys, pouting seats, wall decor, etc. We sold these on consignment from a local speciaty shop called Colonial Hill House. However, we never pursued large-scale sales. We only did it in our spare time for a little extra income. |

I am 62 and have been with this company for four years now. Part of the job is really physical and I am struggling to keep up. They can not offer me part-time so I have been looking for about a year now with no luck, not even a respose. I thought maybe doing something home based, but then I have no medical insurance until I am 65, Medicare. Then I found out the government is taking money out of socical security for medicare insurance every month. What to do what to do? Just don't have any answers. |

In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job?: Has anyone did a hobby and turned it into selling items? Posted by edogmom Hi, Yes, since I love taking photos, and have an eye for it, I mount them on card stock and put them into a cellophane envelope (Photographer's Edge) and sell them around town and at a retreat center gift shop, used book store, a deli, and have sold in other places as well....it is cash for groceries and comes in handy...plus it gives meaning to my hobby that I love! You can do this with small crafts, etc., too. Ruth/Wisconsin |

In Response to Are you looking for a part-time job?: 5 More Great Part-time Jobs for Retirees suggests working as a blogger, coach, teacher’s aid, tour guide or at a convention center. Have you ever worked at one of these types of jobs? If not, which part-time job have you found helps you bring in a little extra income? Posted by AARPMiller Yes, I am. I've been working as a sales assistant for Christopher and Banks Ladies Clothing store for the past three years part-time. I can not get enough hours a week to make a dent in any of my bills. It barely pays for gas to and from. Do you know of any similar jobs in my area (Charlotte, NC) that I can drive to in under two hours? I live in Charlotte and the store is in Concord that is at least 30 minutes without traffic. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
