Lynn Berger, author of “The Savvy Part-Time Professional - How To Land, Create or Negotiate The Part-Time Job Of Your Dreams,” will lead a workshop on the workplace on Wednesday, December 7 at 7pm at the Killingworth Library as part of the Local Authors Series.
Berger, who resides in both Killingworth and New York City, will be sharing her thoughts on current trends in part-time employment, making a strong case for increased workplace flexibility and part-time employment as a viable option for: parents who want more time with their children but can't risk breaking the family budget; individuals seeking both stimulation and additional income; stressed-out overachievers who want more from life than a sixty-hour work week; and boomers who need and want to work.
But Berger won't stop there. She will provide attendees with the tools, know-how and inspiration needed to land, create or negotiate a part-time job for the money they want. Lynn will share:
· Real life examples of people who have made the switch
· Advantages and disadvantages of part-time work
· Ideas and options for part-time positions and tips for working part-time within an organization or at home
· Information on job-sharing, telecommuting, starting a small business and more
· Ideas on how to negotiate or create the position you want
· Resources to get you started and see you through the process
