One day's work a week?

SJ_Jones

I have possibly found my dream job, however it's only 4 days a week, which I can't survive on. Anyone got any ideas to get 1 day's equivalent money a week?

My job is admin based, and this is my strength. VERY strong MS Office skills, organised blah blah blah

Have also considered voice-over work, but don't really know where to get started there...

I'm racking my brains! I don't want to lose out on this opportunity...

Plenty of shops and supermarkets want weekend staff only so it won't clash with your office job. Not saying it's a dream second job for you but a few companies pay time and a half on Sunday so you can still afford 2 days off a week.

bar work /waiting staff? Something with tips?

Alternatively could you offer tutoring in IT? Maybe look into private or college/day centre tutoring in Office skills?

What do you mean by one days pay ?

I will more than likely get shot down for this , but if you are organised and can play around with a spreadsheet , then I would be looking at match betting.
That would keep you busy for at least 12 months of a day a weeks work.

Read , Read and Read again ... Don't over extend and don't place anything until you are sure you have understood it .. Not hard ..But being organised , methodical and careful will be the skills needed...It is not about being a gambler.

This money is not taxable income ..And it is fairly standard to be making figures in the thousands if doing it for 12 months.

Tutoring in IT - that sounds interesting... I assumed you had to have some sort of teaching qualification, is that not so?

you need a degree in the subject you wish to teach and a teaching qualification

but if you want to do primary school level, GCSE's is high enough I think

Do you qualify for working Tax Credit?.

I agree with this. Don't worry about not being able to pay, it isn't really gambling as if it's done right you can't lose.

Would OP not need to invest money into this to start seeing any reward ??

There are jobs about. I have 4 jobs. Builders mornings monday - thursday, advertising company wednesday afternoon, garage tuesday afternoon and another garage monday afternoon all doing book-keeping and payroll.Fridays off to do the housework lol. Covers me if any one company goes out of business but can be a pain to find something to fit in with the others. Luckily I get to know a lot of people so they will hopefully know of other jobs should it be necessary. I would try match betting if I understood any of it but I dont. keep looking.

I small amount of funds would be needed to start off with. Maybe £100-£200?? However, as the other posters have said, it is (when done correctly) risk free. If the OP wanted to go down this particular route it might be a good idea if they did it on paper first before staking cash just to make sure they were fully ok with what needed to be done.
