Medical and healthcare jobs are plentiful, which in a tough economy makes them very attractive. But how can you commit to a new career if you aren’t sure what you’re getting into? Enter the part time health career job—the perfect way to maintain your current job security (even if layoffs are happening all around you) while testing the waters for a new career path. According recent studies, 19 percent of the overall healthcare work force was part time in 2006. More than 35 percent of all dentist office employees were listed as part time in the same year. Could you be one of that 19 to 35 percent?
Chances are you won’t have any trouble finding medical jobs—the real trick is to make the part time work fit in with the schedule of your full time job. It can help to examine your motives for taking the second job carefully and be up front about your needs during the job interview. Are you taking this part time job in order to transition from an old career to a new one? If so, let the interviewer know you’re in a transition and trying to get your foot in the door. If it sounds like you’re not planning to be a more permanent member of the team, there’s less incentive to hire you.
Eventually, your part time medical job can turn into a full time opportunity that could lead to a dilemma for some. What do you do when an immediate need arises in your part time healthcare job? How do you handle a transition from the old career to the new one? It’s a tough call, especially if you’re getting pressure from one employer or the other to make a decision.
It’s sometimes tempting to take the better offer, call the other employer and terminate the working relationship immediately, but it’s in your best interest to try to leave your old occupation without giving the customary notice and transition time. Your new employer should be able to appreciate that you don’t want to put your old co-workers in a bad position with a sudden departure; it’s often considered a warning sign if a new employer insists you quit the old job immediately without thought for how that rapid departure may hurt your old company.
Best advice? Always try to do the right thing—a good supervisor should understand your need to finish your old career in a neat, organized way. You’ll soon be on your way to a top medical job once you’ve tied up your affairs in your old career.
