Full-Time Burnt Me Out. So at 56 I Said 'Casual Only'

✅ FREE checklist: 20 skills women over 50 already have (and the jobs that use them) → https://karyntakahashi-hello.systeme.io/free-checklist ▶ Something stopping you changing jobs? Watch this next: https://youtu.be/BJaMhpsS604 At my last job interview there were two jobs on offer: one full-time, one casual. Before they could offer me either, I said "I'm only looking for casual." A few years earlier I would never have dared. In this video I share why I said it, why I could say it, and how you can ask for the hours you actually want. In this video: - What full-time cost me (the money was good, the life wasn't) - The maths of casual work, and what casual loading is - What I said in the interview, and why they said yes - Where part-time and casual roles exist, even at entry level - A simple line you can use to ask for casual hours - What I do with my afternoons now More money doesn't automatically mean a better life. Knowing what you bring lets you ask for what you need. That's not cockiness. That's leverage. I'm Karyn. I'm 57, I'm from Australia, and I work casual hours as an appointment setter. I share honest help for women over 50 who want work that fits their life. No hype, no income promises. Casual loading varies by job and award. Always check your own award or the Fair Work Ombudsman. 💬 If you could choose your working hours tomorrow, what would they be?
