Just the book I've been looking for!,
By Seagull "Discriminating Reader" (new york city) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Savvy Part-Time Professional: How to Land, Create, or Negotiate the Part-time Job of Your Dreams (Capital Ideas for Business & Personal Development) (Paperback)
This book was filled with ideas and options for someone (like myself) who is looking into part-time work.
This book is well-researched. It is dense and has so much information written in a clear and consise manner. I especially enjoyed the segments about the workers who have made the successful change from full time to part-time. Thank you, Ms. Berger. I am looking forward to implementing your suggestions into my own job search.

Book is fine but you need to have a source of jobs.,

This review is from: The Savvy Part-Time Professional: How to Land, Create, or Negotiate the Part-time Job of Your Dreams (Capital Ideas for Business & Personal Development) (Paperback)
The book may tell you how to land a part time job but it does not point to available jobs. There are many websites that claim to offer part time jobs but it often remains difficult.[...], they only have jobs from employer websites and offer far more jobs than other job boards.

Part Time Crossing, the web's version of a part time helper,
This review is from: The Savvy Part-Time Professional: How to Land, Create, or Negotiate the Part-time Job of Your Dreams (Capital Ideas for Business & Personal Development) (Paperback)
This book was very helpful in narrowing down my job selection process. Another resource I used was Part Time Crossing, http://www.PartTimeCrossing.com , to look for a job because, unlike many of its competitor's sites, Part Time Crossing hosts jobs from only employer websites and supports many more jobs than any other site I have ever used. But do not take my word for it, check out their website for yourself, they helped me find a job which eventually turned into my career.
