How Can I Find A Partner?
You have already made two major decisions:
1. You want an alternative work option.
2. You want to job share.
The search for the perfect partner can take many forms. There is no easy answer to the "where" and "hows" of finding a partner. That's why at Share Goals, our mission is to make the process smoother and easier for you. We do this by evaluating the professional data. We read through the resumes and conduct interviews. We check personal and professional references. In the final analysis though, creating a successful partnership is up to the two-team members.
You must ask each other some broad philosophical questions:
What kind of worker are you?
How do you measure success?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
What can we learn from one another?
How well do you communicate your needs?
How do you handle a frustrating situation?
Can you share success with another person?
What do you hope to gain by returning to the workforce?
You must also ask each other some specific questions regarding day-to-day operations:
What days and hours of the week do you want to work?
Do you want to overlap one day of the week?
Will your schedule be flexible?
What salary are you looking for?
Do you need medical benefits for your family?
How much vacation time do you need?
Do you want a particular title?
Do you prefer a particular company?
Are there any industries or companies where you would refuse to work?
This is only the tip of the iceberg. At Share Goals, we will show you how to maximize your communication and your time. We will share with you the systems we've employed to help make our own job share one of the most successful in the industry.
