Part-time work typically requires fewer than 30 hours per week. However, the federal government doesn’t provide a definition for part-time or full-time employees. This means the hours you work depend on the company, position, and agreement made between you and your employer.

The number of hours per week you’re expected to work and how your employer designates employment status determines whether your role is full time or part time. Typically, part-time workers also receive fewer benefits and perks than full-time employees.

In this article, we’ll outline what a part-time job is, why part-time positions might be a good fit for you, what benefits and perks you may be eligible for, and more.

During the interview process, hiring managers will as, “what are your salary ex-pectations?” to understand if your expected salary is within their salary range.

A salary range is the minimum and maximum base salary an organization will pay for a specific role. For example, if the lower salary for a job is $50,000 and the higher salary is $100,000, the salary range is $50,000-$100,000.

A salary range is also the difference between the lowest and highest salary that an employee wants to receive if they join the team.

In general, salary ranges include low, mid-point, and maximum salaries. For example:

• $50,000 (bottom of the range)
• $75,000 (average salary)
• $100,000 (maximum)
• Range: $50,000-$100,000

This article discusses the use of salary ranges, how to determine a salary range, the factors that affect it, and how to negotiate your salary with hiring managers.

Remote work was a global movement before the coronavirus pandemic and only accelerated with it. According to Gallup, nearly 60% of U.S. employees working from home want to continue to do so. 90% of remote workers plan to stay for their careers.

Employees like remote work arrangements because it offers more flexibility and autonomy, both in location and working hours. Remote work doesn’t have to mean working from home. It could mean working from a coffee shop, co-working space, or internationally by taking advantage of remote work visas.

Employers also benefit when they support remote workers. Employers who embrace teleworking aren’t sacrificing performance. They benefit from decreased costs and lower environmental impacts to higher productivity and employee retention.

This article outlines the benefits of remote work for employees and employers.

“Why do you want to work here?” is a question you can expect in most job interviews.

While an answer may seem obvious, a good response starts with how your skills, characteristics, and experience can help the particular company. Only then do you talk about why you’re excited to work there.

As it’s a common interview question, there are no excuses not to prepare.

To provide a good answer, you need to understand what the hiring manager wants in an ideal candidate, which requires research. Understanding what they’re looking for allows you to personalize your answer and helps you stand out from other candidates.

A four-day workweek, or a compressed work schedule, is an arrangement where a workplace has its employees work four days per week instead of five. This may seem like a major shift in how we think about and approach work but there is good evidence to support it.

A 2014 study from Stanford University suggests productivity plummets after working 50 hours. Other experts suggest 35 hours is the optimal work time before productivity declines.

Overworked employees tend to become less efficient: due to stress, fatigue, and other factors, their output during a given day is lower than what it would have been if they had worked a shorter week.

By emphasizing results instead of hours logged, businesses can achieve the same in fewer hours while giving employees more time to pursue other interests, spend time with loved ones, and manage their work-life balance.
