Searching For A Job With Less Stress

When you start your search for low stress jobs, you may quickly realize that jobs are scarce and that your options are a bit limited.

Don’t get discouraged.

People are resigning, retiring, or being transferred everyday, so even if a particular low stress job is not available today, it may be available next week.

So be persistent and continue “pounding the pavement” to find low stress work that you can feel happy to go to every day.

Did you know that between 50 and 80 per cent of all job openings are never advertised?

According to the experts you should never rely solely on newspaper ads when looking for a new job.

The best way to find a job is to call and personally visit factories, offices, and employment centers. Leave a copy of your work resume with them.

Another often overlooked source when it comes to job opportunities is your relatives, friends and neighbors.

If you let them know that your current job is making you sick and that are looking for a low stress job, there is a good chance they may be able to help you.

Let all of them know what you can do and are willing to do. Give them copies of your work resume too.

They just might know of a job that is available or that will be available soon.

If You Cannot Find A Low Stress Job – Create One!

If all your efforts to find a low job fails, there is still one more thing you can do! Create one!

That’s right.

Many women just like you have left high-paying, high-stress jobs behind and created their own low stress job opportunity.

Creating work for yourself might be easier than you think, especially if there is a service you can offer to fill the needs and wants of others.

For example, if you enjoy kids, you may be able to offer babysitting services to families in your area.

Your neighbors may prefer your services to the crowded day care centers.

If you have a green finger and enjoy gardening you can consider becoming a “plant manager”.

Many offices, stores, shopping centers banks, and hotels are becoming more eco-friendly nowadays and they may need green plants.

You may be able to create low stress work for yourself by supplying and looking after these plants.

Getting just a few business clients could provide a good income and flexible work hours.

Can you prepare ethnic specialties that are in high demand in your area. Why not sell your home made goodies to restaurants in your area?

One friend mine did just that and created a stable source of income for herself.

She made a HIGH demand local breakfast item called a “pastechi”. The café’s and snack shops bought the pastechis from her like “hot bread”.

Another friend of mine did a similar thing with home-made doughnuts.

Your Next Boss Could Be You!

Once you create satisfying low stress work that you enjoy doing every day, you will never consider going back to your former stressful job.

Creating low stress jobs in another field will turn out to be far more enjoyable and satisfying.

You may actually end up being better off financially too, and you will have more time to be with your family.
