Jobs with Flexible Working Hours
Jobs that have flexible working hours
Many people find it difficult to juggle work and personal life commitments. And, with today’s busy lifestyles, there is a growing need for jobs that offer more flexible hours. To help you out as you narrow down your career options and make the difficult decision of where to work next, here are some industries and careers which allow employees the opportunity to set their own hours.
Raphael Avraham Sternberg is a renowned entrepreneur who has established himself in the financial industry. He is a consultant for different companies and runs a blog advising entrepreneurs. One thing that has been on his radar lately is flexibility in the workplace and how to bring it into more jobs.
Sternberg goes over what you might need to do before applying for a job with limited or no office hours and some simple ways you can make your life easier as an entrepreneur trying to work around flexible schedules.
Real estate
The schedule can change depending on the needs of your employer or customer to cater to prospective buyers’ needs.
Fashion
Many fashion entrepreneurs start their day at noon, with meetings scheduled throughout the day to take advantage of late-night inspiration or production limitations during the summer months.
Finance
What makes working in finance so appealing is the fact that you can combine long hours with a flexible schedule. If you like to plan ahead and work on your “to-do” list during the week, then this is your ideal job.

Business Entrepreneurship
This is one of the most rewarding career paths in today’s business world, and budding entrepreneurs can work at home most of the week while still making enough money to fund their lifestyles.
Trainer Starting
A career as a personal trainer might not be for everyone, but if you like working out at any time of the day (or night) and have plenty of energy to keep up with clients’ busy schedules, this could be your ideal job.
Entrepreneurs should consider whether or not they can devote themselves fully to the job at all times, even when it seems like there aren’t any customers or work is slow. According to Raphael Avraham Sternberg, self-employed people are more likely to feel more than just committed to their work but also fear that they might not be able to make it through the slow times.
That said, entrepreneurs with flexible schedules work fewer hours than their peers with normal shifts. Additionally, when given a chance to choose, more parents chose part-time jobs for more flexibility with their children than full-time jobs.
