    What are your outstanding abilities? Are you prompt getting to work each day, no matter the weather? Are you more (or less) honest than the average person?

    Still good advice from vic. I don't care if someone has a career set. Anyone is replaceable including a guy who has 15%+ stake in huge cCorp.
    Speaking of part time job.

    I work at home, but I am looking for 2nd job (part time with little cal burining). I gained so much weight after being self employed+ knee surgeries .

    I calculated that I need any 4hr/day job to burn energy content like Normal person. However (regardless of 15 or 85/hr), I do not need a severe labor heavy/intense job that I will end up having another joint surgeries.

    Talking from a guy who goes to rec center 4-5x week.

    $$ will be an extra bonus.
