Your Questions About Local Job Listings Part Time

Richard asks…

Can’t understand this job ad?

I’m trying to figure out what the hours would be. It’s listed under “part-time.” 3P-11P;11P-7A/Weekdays and weekends
Shift Details: This position is normally scheduled for both 2nd and 3rd shift.

Would that mean 3-11 one day a week, and 11-7 one days a week? Or varying days?

But it also says: Hours/Pay Period: 40

Do you think it means there are 40 hours in their pay period because 40 hours a week is not part-time.

Also, in the job title it has (PT 50%) next to it. Any idea of what that would mean? All of the jobs under this employer’s listings have this lingo. There are also jobs listed that have 48 hours/week under Hours/Pay Period and say (PT 60%). How on Earth could 48 hours per week be considered part-time? These are local hospital jobs – you’d think they’d have a better system of listing these. Do you work 48 hours a week one week, and have the next week off, maybe? Is that how they get away with listing it as part-time?

The hours mean that it will vary and the you will have a total of 40 hours per pay period

Charles asks…

College Grad, majored in Music Industry, minor in Popular Music. Seeking Full-time job…What are my options?

I’ve recently graduated from College, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Industry(my school has a Music Ind. program), as well as a minor in Popular Music.

My overall GPA is 3.45 and have worked in Promotions for some time at a local Radio Station. I’m about an hour or so away from NY, one of the two major locations for the Industry(the other being LA).

I’m seeking Full-time employment, though most of the listings I’ve come across are either Part-time, or Internship-only. Ideally, I’d like to work in a Recording Studio, since I also play and work with software all the time. But I’m not picky, I’m more concerned with having Full-time employment. I have a resume, as well.

Those of you familiar with the Industry, and have worked in it, what would you advise me to do? Do you know of any additional opportunities I can take a look into? I wish to start working ASAP. Thanks for all your help!

Readjust your career……..get back into collage and get into the health field while your still young…….never want for work……..you’ve going to starve in the music industry………this economy sucks……….

There are thousand and thousands of talented, experience people on the street due to the economy…the competition for any job is extreme. …people will do anything for much less just to feed their kids……..I don’t expect it to get any better before 2012……sorry……

Steven asks…

Does anyone know how to obtain names of new businesses opening up in a particular area?

I tried the local chamber of commerce, etc. but no luck there. I did find these companies willing to say lists but they want to charge like $500 or more. I also tried calling the local phone company but they said they don’t have the info??? Well my best bet is the local phone company would have the info but not willing to show newly established listings. My reason for wanting the info is because I just started a part time job that I hope becomes full time and it involves setting up merchants for accepting credit card transactions.

Robin West answers:

Check for new business licenses having been issued. ~
