I'm thinking of taking up a part time job in health care and due to the nature of shift patterns, I'm just a bit concerned of the impact those hours will have on my escorting.
I only escort part time as I don't need to generate a vast amount of income. But to earn the bare minimum in my health care job, I'd have to work around 16 hours a week.
In a nutshell, I'm worried that I'd work loads more hours a week just to generate the same amount of income that an hour of escorting would bring in and end up in a situation where I'd miss some of my clients as I'd be working in my other job.
I love escorting to bits and love the freedom it brings. I'm definitely made to be self employed, but would like a guaranteed income as well. How do the rest of you cope with another job when escorting is your priority?

I work full time civvy and the worst thing is, although my availability is weekends/any eves, I get really tired and so miss out on a lot of escorting work. But I am too nervous to make the leap. I would think a mix of part time civvy and part time escort would be the ideal x
-
I understand. I suppose the reason why I only escort part time is because I don't have many outgoings. No rent or mortgage to pay. And I'm currently buying a flat to let out so that will generate some extra income. It won't be enough to solely live on, but it will pay my bills and my escorting money will enable me to eat lol and do other things. So I suppose I am worrying over nothing ;D
-
Yes you'll miss clients, but you'll always miss clients for one reason or another.

I took a full time job for a while but ended up in horrendous debt along with having to make an official complaint about bullying and someone being sacked. I now love my massaging more than ever. At this moment can't afford to take a civvy job but as soon as I can I will even if just for couple days a week.

all my jobs are freelance, so my escort work schedual is always changing!! this is shit in some ways but great in others as regulars /newbies book me as im not as 'available' could be a good thing x
-
The post you're considering, is it set hours or is it a zero hour contract?
If it's set hours then I'd say give it a go and see what happens.
If it's zero hours I'd give it a swerve and hold out for something with routine.
I'm working a FT civvy job and I'm finding it challenging not being able to answer calls and emails during the day.

I know what you mean. The men I meet say they like the fact that I work civvy as they don't want to see an escort who escorts as her main job. I know that it is none of their business how much escorts 'escort' but that's what they have all said. Therefore, maybe it's worth making up a civvy job if you haven't got one to encourage them more haha! Talk about these men wanting the bloody world.

That's the thing, I don't know. I think it's done on a rota but apart from a vague job description, I have no idea what it involves. And no idea about the wage either. This is why I'm so hesitant.

I'm confused, how have you heard about this job? If it's been advertised then it should say the number of contracted hours, at least?

It's community care. They have office in the town where I live. The woman I spoke to asked how many hours i wanted to work. I said 16. She seemed reluctant to tell me much until I had filled out the application form and read the job description.

Apply for it first.

I have my own business alongside escorting which takes up a lot of time and I am very part time when it comes to escorting.
It used to be tiring and I used to dread some bookings, but I took a break and regained my love for escorting and now I enjoy being really busy in both jobs. Keeps me on my toes and there's nothing better than making more money!
I would say apply for the job first and if you get an interview be sure to ask a couple questions (always helps) and see if they can give you an idea and decide from there?
-
I work a 30 hour week in a normal job . i love it as it keeps me sane!!
i only see 2 clients a day so its perfect for me . it also makes me relise how easy the escorting money is sometimes!
-
If it's entry level community care then sadly it's probably minimum wage and could well be zero hours. I'd go for the interview but ask some pointed questions and remember you're not desperate for work.

Hello all :)
This thread is close to my heart - I work a normal 9 to 5 job and it's an assistant manager position so very stressful as I'm trying to earn my stripes in my career. I just wanted to ask English Rebecca how do you do 2 clients a day with a 30 hour a week job! Kudos to you I can only do 1 after work max and even then not every day as I am KNACKERED lol!
-
i think of the money lol
im lucky i only work till 2pm so i go to the gym then see one client in the afternoon and one in the eve x
-
Ooh lucky you I would LOVE that. I work 9 to 5 so by the time I get back home it's about quarter to 6 so I'm usually rushing round like a headless chicken showering, redoing make up and the bane of my life - attaching stockings to suspenders lol. I do think I lose business as I'm so restricted on time as most of my clients are guys that seem to fly in then fly out on business so have restricted timetables but I'm lucky my day job is well paid so I can't complain when the escorting is slow though I do prefer the wads of cash every now and again than waiting for my monthly payslip! I feel so grateful to escorting as I'm no longer living on the breadline prior to my monthly wage coming in lol.
Ps good luck to Voluptuous Curves! Hope it's a decent contract for you X
