full time job vs 2/3 part time ones

    I'm finding more part time jobs that I can do. I would prefer a full time one but can't seem to get one, so next best thing is 2/3 part time ones. The bare minimum a week I could live on is €330 that doesn't include much savings(if something happened to my car, it's very useful to have something more than €10 spare). On minimum wage I would have to do a 40 hour week but I can't get my head around how it would work, if both employers wanted you to work the same hours. More worrying is if I got one part time job and wasn't able to get another, I couldn't pay the rent then.

    The normal night time jobs waiting tables or bar work, I am unbelievability crap at. My memory is really bad and as soon as people tell me things I forget them, it's worse when it's a list of things too. Also loud noises tend to disorient me, making my memory even worse.

    I just don't know what to do.

    I'd be interested in peoples views on this also.

    I think the best approach is to have an understanding with both employers that your working multiple part time jobs a the present. I guess it also depend on the field of work your in.

    Thats about all the help I can be.

    Depends on the nature of the part time work and the hours that wouild be involved but i would say take a full time job (If you can), and also get a part time one if needed, that way youll know well in advance the hours you can work for the part time jobs for some extra money!

    I suspect you'll be taxed on emergency tax rates for the 2nd job. Unless there's some way that Revenue can split the credits between the two concurrent employers.

    This works out at the end of the year when you can get them to check your tax and pay back, but may be a right pain during the year.

    Having 2-3 part time jobs is "insurance" against one making you redundant, but OTOH it can mean you're not eligible for any welfare if one does.

    It's possible to get the Revenue to split the credits between jobs. You should also be able to get them to issue a zero tax credits cert to an employer to get you off emergency tax without changing your primary job's credits.
