Review
Berger navigates the murky part-time waters and offers tips on attaining a part time job. --Washington Post

There is a tremendous need for information about part-time work options. Lynn Berger is eminently qualified." --Debra Laks, Acting President, Career Development Specialists Network

Product Description
In "The Savvy Part-time Professional," respected career and life coach Lynn Berger makes a strong case for part-time employment as a viable option for: * Parents who want more time with their children but can t risk breaking the family budget * Seniors seeking both stimulation and a cushion for dwindling retirement funds and * Stressed-out overachievers who want more from life than a sixty-hour work week and a McMansion mortgage. But Lynn doesn t stop there. She gives readers the tools, know-how, and inspiration needed to land, create, or negotiate the position they want, for the money they want. "The Savvy Part-Time Professional" includes: Real life examples of people who have made the switch; Ideas and options for part-time positions & tips for working part-time within an organization or at home; Questionnaires and work sheets to help people determine life/work needs and desires; 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 The book also contains inspirational stories of those who have made the switch, information on job-sharing and resources to get you started.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the book I've been looking for!, October 18, 2006
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book is fine but you need to have a source of jobs., April 16, 2009
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but there is a better way, April 15, 2009
By Robert Romine (Arlington, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While the book offers some useful advice, it is really a waste when there is a site like http://www.PartTimeCrossing.com out there. After trying just about every resource out there to find a job, I discovered http://www.PartTimeCrossing.com and was amazed because it has jobs only from employer websites and far more jobs than you will find on other job boards. As far as I'm concerned you can waste your time and money reading every book out there or just go to http://www.PartTimeCrossing.com and find a great job.
