Why Moonlight?
Posted by ayeshawrites4u on January 29, 2009
In response to yesterday’s post, a friend of mine asked me why do I suggest moonlighting before leaving your job permanently. First, let me redefine moonlighting. Moonlighting is when you continue working at a job you plan on leaving until you find a different position or in the world of freelancing and entrepreneurialship, your new salary is larger than your current one.
Why Woonlight?
For most peope, the answer may be obvious such as “A bird in the hand beats two in the bush”. Not reacting impulsively prevents people from spending six months looking for a job without any source of income. The key is to search, while you still have a sure thing on hand.
This rule even applies when you are laid off. Be realistic. While you are searching, if you get a job that is not in your desired field, position, or income level and have not been receiving very many calls from employers at your proper range, then take the job until something more appropriate comes along.
Moonlighting makes all transitions easier.
As always, good luck with your job search.
