In today's busy world, most of us are struggling to manage our time between three jobs-work, family and home-let alone finding time for ourselves. If you're looking for a better balance in your life, or a change in the way you manage your career and family life, there is a solution that could work for you-job sharing.
Job sharing comes in many forms. One common approach is where one full-time position is shared by two people working part time.
In this practical guide, two people who successfully shared a job for over five years will take you through the steps to:
- Find out if job sharing will suit you
- Find a compatible job-share partner who is just as hardworking and reliable as you are
- Prepare a persuasive proposal to convince your boss of the benefits of job sharing
- Learn how to deal with the day-to-day challenges of sharing your position.
Whether you're at the top of the corporate ladder, just starting out or thinking of returning to the workforce after a break, job sharing can provide you with the balance you want in your work and personal life.
