Five Terrific Jobs for Moms

As a mom, you may want or need to work outside of the home. While you may be qualified for all sorts of positions, you are hoping to find one that gives you the ability to bring in some much-needed income while still having enough flexibility to be there for your kids when they need you — and even when they don’t. With this in mind, the following five jobs for moms are ideal for those who would prefer not to work a typical 9 to 5 schedule:

Real estate agent

Real estate agents usually set their own hours, but they also work some odd times like on weekends and nights, SheKnows notes. If your spouse works a traditional schedule, this can be an ideal situation because chances are good at least one of you will always be home with the kiddos and you won’t have to spend some of your hard-earned money on daycare. Some Realtor moms just list a couple houses at a time, so that they can still devote a lot of their days to their family.

Small business owner

Do your friends freak out when they see the gorgeous postcard-worthy photos you post on Facebook? Are your cupcakes or cinnamon rolls legendary in your neighborhood? It may be possible to turn your talent into a money-making venture by opening up a small business right from home. You can set up a website that sells your products or services, and spread the word via social media and word of mouth that you are now available to shoot family portraits, or pet sit, or cater birthday parties. If you are super crafty, you might also find that a website like Etsy is a terrific place to open your own store on the Internet.

Insurance agent

The insurance industry is great for moms who want to telecommute. Many different companies have jobs that allow people to work from home. Insurance agents also tend to have an entrepreneurial spirit that can be very appealing to moms who are also looking for some freedom in their schedules. Lead aggregation services like Quote Wizard enable moms to pursue life insurance business opportunities in between dropping the kids off and picking them up from school.

School teacher

As Business News Daily notes, working at a school is the perfect way for a mom to be on the same schedule as her kids. In an ideal world, you might also be able to find a position at the same school your kids attend. If you do not want to work as a teacher, there are still plenty of other openings in schools that are ideal for moms; these include working in the school’s library, being a lunchroom and playground aide, assisting in the front office, and being a teacher’s assistant.

Pharmacist

Careers in the pharmaceutical industry can be ideal for working moms who are looking for job flexibility. As Forbes notes, the positions offer an outstanding balance between working and home life, and they typically offer a great salary and benefits.

These are just a few flexible jobs for moms seeking something different than the corporate world.

Content & Communications Manager

We are Hiring a Content & Communications Manager!

Calling all social media and marketing enthusiasts…

If you consider yourself an “A-player,” love the world of entrepreneurship, and are excited about the freedom of working from anywhere, I want to talk to you.

I’m Shannon, founder of Factory45, and I’m hiring a part-time content & communications manager to work with me directly.

US

Factory45 is an accelerator program that gives designers and makers the resources to start sustainable businesses in the USA. With six months, three modules, and an online community of entrepreneurs, Factory45 provides the business tools that aren’t taught in fashion school and the connections that can only be found through inside connections.

For the past few months, I’ve been running all operations with the help of two summer interns. As August comes to a close, I’m looking for someone to work with me at the next level.

YOU

You are someone who has experience creating and managing online content via blogging and social media. Ideally, you’re familiar with WordPress, TweetDeck (or something similar), and email marketing. The ideal candidate has an acute awareness of details, an eye for aesthetically pleasing design, impeccable grammar and spelling, and the ability to adopt a distinct brand voice.

Your level of experience can vary — it’s most important that you’re a “go-getter” who can efficiently manage your time, juggle varying tasks at once, and aren’t afraid to take on the marketing and content “department” of Factory45 as your own. There is a lot of room for autonomy and potential for growth within the company.

WHAT WE NEED

Strategy and implementation for:

– Growing Factory45’s social media presence and following

– Increasing traffic and readership of the Factory45 blog

– Developing a marketing strategy for the 2015 application period

WEEKLY TASKS

– Manage the Factory45 blog by editing and publishing content on WordPress and Medium, while also sharing on social media. (This is not a writing task – you will be given the blog posts.)

– Manage email-marketing outreach through MailChimp (or the platform of your choice).

– Create and schedule content for social media sharing.

– Build relationships for guest posting and press outreach.

– Develop strategies for strengthening the “voice” of Factory45 and deepening our brand identity.

– Occasionally create Factory45 program content using Keynote.

THE TERMS

Starting out, I’m looking for someone who can dedicate 6-10 hours per week. Commensurate on experience, payment will range from $12-$20/hour. We’ll start on a one-month paid trial period and if all goes well, we’ll extend the terms to a contract-based position. As I mentioned, this position offers the opportunity to grow in both hours and pay.

You must be comfortable working virtually — and be self-motivated.

THE PERKS

– The opportunity to work on the ground level of a new company with projected potential for high growth.

– The freedom of working from anywhere and setting your own hours.

– The potential to be connected to some of the leading industry experts in sustainable fashion.

– The experience of working in a rapidly growing industry.

– Strong emphasis on work/life balance, self-growth, personal discovery and meaningful work.

DETAILS ON APPLYING

No resumes please! Go ahead and send me an email with the subject line “Content & Communications Manager” to shannon@factory45.co outlining your previous experience, why you’re the perfect person for this job, how your ideals align with Factory45, and links to your blog and/or social media accounts. Candidates who keep it short and succinct will get major bonus points : )

Deadline to apply is 9/1, but a decision may be made sooner so ASAP is best.

Graphic Design

Hello! I am looking for a graphic designer I can use for ongoing work for my nutrition counseling business (brochures, postcards, ads, etc). Below you’ll find a summary of who I am and what kind of look I’d like for the ongoing work. If you are interested, please provide a few samples of your work as well as your pricing structure. Thank you in advance!

 

About me

I am a holistic nutrition counselor specializing in women’s health. I focus on helping women naturally create hormonal calm, balance blood sugar levels, resolve PMS and prepare their bodies for healthy pregnancies.

Who I’m targeting and what feelings I want my brand to evoke

I’d like my materials to attract women who are intelligent, middle income to affluent, interested in personal improvement and have an appreciation for beauty and aesthetics. They are between the ages of 26-39. They have sophistication and class. They are natural women who want to improve their health without drugs. They aspire to shop at farmer’s markets, eat organic and lead a green and natural lifestyle.

I’d like my materials to evoke a feeling of warmth, comfort and a bit of luxury and pampering, as this is all about women and their feminine health. But most importantly it needs to come across as professional and competent as I am a healthcare practitioner.

Brand Position

Brands I’d like to emulate are Williams Sonoma,Pottery Barn, J. Crew, Anthropologie, Madewell, West Elm.

How I don’t want to be positioned: Forever21 (too young, too neon), Juicy Couture (too ostentatious), or anything that feels very severe and stark.

All the best,

Jessica

Sales & Marketing Genius

�

Summary:

Relationship-based sales and marketing

�

Duties:

�

Looking to bring the right person onboard for a business that is serious about comedy.

�

Hi. My name is David Crone and I am a ventriloquist, specializing in bringing comedy entertainment to company and association events.� Since officially launching “I’m No Dummy Productions” in 2005, I have been building the business purely on Google searches and Gigmaster.com listings.� Basically, I have done the online equivalent of “hanging out the shingle” and waiting for people to find me. While this has been OK, it has caused random bookings in locations scattered all over the country.� My goal for this year is to fill the majority of my calendar with events within a 3-hour driving radius of my home base in Columbus, OH.� Also, to fill the booking calendar more consistently with events more closely aligned with my type of entertainment.

�

Let’s be clear right up front. I am a talented entertainer. I am very good at what I do on stage.� However, I am terrible at marketing and sales.� That’s where you come in.� I need someone whose primary job will be to fill my calendar – and do that through building and maintaining relationships.

�

Does this sound like you?

������ Enjoy using Google and other search engines

������ Naturally curious and able to draw conclusions and inferences based on snippets of information

������ Enjoy picking up the phone and calling people you’ve never spoken to before.

������ Enjoy talking with people, getting to understand their needs, keeping the focus of the conversation on them, yet able to drive the conversation down a path of discovery for mutual benefit.

������ Adept at the usual slate of computer software and online systems.� (MS Office, Google, online calendars, smartphone apps, etc.) Able to learn new systems quickly.

������ Enjoy laughing and having fun while remaining productive.

������ Able to speak up and tell your boss/supervisor/partner when he is being stupid. In a nice way, of course.

������ Flexible schedule to be able to call people/prospects/clients at times that best suite their availability. We’re talking about normal business hours, here, but with flexible timing across days.

�

This position will be a combination of

������ Internet research

������ Culling through spreadsheets of potential leads, some of which I will provide, others you will create

������ Digging through other resources to find leads

������ Running campaigns to identify, qualify and nurture leads.� This will include email and phone calls.�

������ Telling me what I need to do next and holding me accountable.

�

�

Style notes:

While this job will involve making phone calls to new prospects, I don’t want this to be “smile and dial” high volume traditional high pressure cold calling.� We’re not selling widgets here. We’re looking to provide high quality entertainment and other services to the right clients who have a need for what I do. The point of all phone calls is to establish and build relationships.

�

Compensation:

Negotiable.� Will likely incorporate some balance between base pay and profit sharing.� Expectations are that this will start small and grow to become much larger.

�

More about the company:

Peruse the web site at ImNoDummy.com.� Also read the blog (link on the site) to get a sense of my leadership philosophy and style as a manager/boss.

�

Time:

Amount of time per week is negotiable. I would expect at least 10-15 hours per week to start. I expect this to be a long-term position and for the job duties to change over time as we work together. The length of time this working relationship lasts will depend entirely on your success in filling my calendar with high quality events.
