Can you be a successful part-time searcher?

by a searcher from Mississippi State University

2 years ago

I'm new to the ETA community and the main thing I still wrestle with in my mind is the large number of success stories I've heard from searchers who eventually found success upon switching his/her search from part-time to full-time.. 

Does anyone have any success stories from a part-time search? Or what are the key characteristics found in those who find success with a part-time search?

Thanks for any feedback!

To me l think a good combo of W2 and Distribution might be interesting, in a proportion of 70/30 respectively
