Unsure and Frustrated in Austin

Hey there. I hope all is going well for you. I hate to trouble you but, I'm wondering if I could brainstorm with you. After struggling to find a part-time job returned to my old employer, who a federal contractor. Of course, nothing has changed with federal contracting, except the government is starting to push out smaller firms for larger ones. I do understand that because they have more capital and can recruit for the harder to fill positions. I've been here for about six months, and although I was able to fill all the positions for the only contract we have, it is clear we aren't getting any others soon, and I doubt the owner will need a full staff to handle the thirty employees we have. The owner hasn't said anything to me, but I'm starting to look for a new job. I would like something that will carter to my skills. I'm highly organized, a quick learner, and a "nose to the grindstone" type of person. I'm professional on the phone and via email, plus I have strong MS Word, Excel, and Outlook skills, and if I don't know the answer, I'll find it. I want a position where I'm in the background and work remotely. Currently, I'm working part-time (and remotely) as an HR Specialist. I mostly review resumes, screen candidates, do all the onboarding and offboarding, plus a few odds and ends. I enjoy this minus the recruiting and a few of the HR duties, but we cannot have everything. I want a similar position, but I cannot find anything on LinkedIn, or Indeed that doesn't look like a scam. I'm looking under HR Specialist, HR assistant, HR Admin… Do you have any suggestions?

The best job site for all forms of flexible work, including remote, is flexjobs.com. However, the best way to find a job is through networking.

Are you working part time due to the circumstances or because that is your preference? The same goes for being remote. Have you checked out the State of Texas website? I have found they have many positions, but you have to be willing to dig through them. Also try looking in Linkednin for just HR positions. You may find more options there as well.

I teach in the evening and although it is stressful I really do love it so working part-time is best for my physical and mental health. And being remote just making it easier working two part-time jobs.
