Yes, it's possible to have a part-time job in retirement that is rewarding ... and also pays well
Nearly half of retirees say they either have worked or plan to work during their retirement, according to a Merrill Lynch study. And that may be even more common in the future: About seven in 10 older workers over 50 say they want to work in retirement.
How to land the job: Networking is a big help in landing these jobs; let your former colleagues and peers know you’re looking for consulting work. And “keep your LinkedIn profile up to date. You never know who might be looking for someone with your skills and background,” says Cheryl Palmer, founder of Call to Career. She adds that it is a good idea to also “set up job alerts on a major job board like indeed.com that specify the type of consultant work that you want to do.
How to land the job: This may be harder than some gigs to land on a part-time basis as “most project manager positions are full-time,” says Palmer. That said, you can do it, by engaging in “extra networking so that you seem attractive as a part-time employee,” she says, adding that you shouldn’t overlook LinkedIn as a resource for job postings. And career coach Hallie Crawford adds that you can volunteer your time to work your way into an organization.
Plus, there’s demand for this role as colleges are increasingly looking for people with years of real-world experience to teach students — even if you don’t have a PhD. So someone who’s had a career in advertising might teach a course on that, for example. Plus “limited budgets have created an increased demand for adjunct professors,” says Reynolds — as they typically don’t get tenure or benefits. So this gives retirees real opportunity to land this part-time gig.
