All this talk lately about companies with 4-day work weeks may be tempting you to make a career change. Luckily, your timing could not be better, because several of them are hiring right now.
There are tons of open jobs for you to apply for, but one thing all of these roles have in common is that they only require you to work 4 days per week. Each of these companies has adopted permanently shortened work weeks, so that staff have an extra day off to enjoy without sacrificing their salaries or vacation days.
Toronto’s Juno College of Technology has announced its plans for permanent 3-day weekends starting in 2022. Juno College has several open positions on its careers page, many of which are part-time. However, talented applicants are always welcome to submit a general application because the college is always looking for new team members.
