Part-time or gig work

A part-time job resume counts every shift, and it says when you can work.

It asks when you can work

What changes when this is where you are

The questions are written for the job you name. These are the ones that change because these jobs turn on when you can work.

  • Your jobs go in order, newest first.
  • You are asked which days and shifts you can work, because these jobs turn on it.
  • You can say you have no work history yet and keep going.
  • You are asked whether you want steady hours or one-off gigs.

Nothing here is a setting you have to find. It is how the questions come out when you choose this.

Your hours, and every shift
