Ok, no, I’m not switching careers and I’m not losing any of my current work. But I thought it was really cool how the part time job I had this past summer has come back again. As you will recall from April through October of last year, I worked part time, outside the home at a local office doing general admin work. I eventually resigned as it was just too much with everything else.
Well, needless to say I left on really good terms and really liked my boss. I wrote about my resignation here. Well, about a month ago, she contacted me about doing some work on their website…I went in met with her and did a couple of hours of work on the site. Well, yesterday I went back in for a second meeting with her and her boss…and now I’m on a small monthly retainer with them to maintain and support their website and social media. Woot, woot!
It’s not a lot of money, but it is regular income I can count on, more than replaces the part time income I was getting last summer and I can do it from home. A giant win all around! And I truly do enjoy working for this boss, I really admire her!

Congratulations! I think this is awesome and will give you some wiggle room in your budget.
Nice job, Hope! Way to build those relationships and props to you for leaving the door open for future opportunity!
Congrats! It’s always good to leave jobs with good impressions. I’m so glad this all worked out in your favor!
