FAQs
For the uninitiated, the concept of Interim Women Managers and the possibilities which exist for them, could be akin to a fairy tale. Here is a compilation of all probable questions that can assail an I-WINners mind. Along with questions come answers to help you tackle every probable solution.
Question : Do Flexi Jobs Exist?
Answer : Yes, Flexi Jobs do exist – but today they are mainly sourced through word-of-mouth, or are offered as a Retention plan for existing employees. Trust plays a key role here, to enable the organization to look at a flexi-hours employee with the same commitment as a permanent one. It is here that the right Resourcing partner plays a key role. AVTAR I-WIN provides a guarantee for each candidate referred and therefore creates this trust and confidence.
Question : Are Flexi Jobs real jobs?
Answer : Yes, Flexi Jobs are real jobs, but they require certain changes in the work-place attitudes and also alternate work policies to be as effective as permanent jobs. Endeavors like AVTAR I-WIN create this awareness in the work-place and also assist organizations in changing their work-place policies.
Question : Is the compensation competitive and attractive?
Answer : For the Interim Women Manager who has set her sights on enriching not only her career, but also her lifestyle, flexi-jobs are ideal. The sky is the limit as far as compensation is concerned. Being project dependant, compensation for flexi-careers could range from 75% of a full-time job to even 150%, depending on the time schedules and deliverables.
Question : Is Interim Management the same as Freelancing?
Answer : No. In a free-lancing scenario, a person can work for multiple organizations at the same time. But in the case of Interim management, a professional can accept only one commitment at a time. If there is no specific binding on the part of the client for exclusivity, then only can the Interim Manager seek to do multiple assignments. In each case, a no-objection and non-disclosure agreement would have to be mutually signed.
Question : Do Interim Managers require any additional skills apart from Domain expertise?
Answer : Yes. They do – they require skills such as Project management skills, Time Management skills and superior Interpersonal skills. They would need to be emotionally mature to handle the absence of the “bonding” feeling which is often present in a full-time job.
Question : Can freshers (candidates with little or no experience) apply for Interim management positions?
Answer : No. Interim Management positions are suited only for professionally qualified specialists with domain/managerial experience. A minimum of 8 years of work experience is considered ideal, but professionals with lesser number of years too could apply, provided the client organization finds the experience adequate.
Question : Are Interim Women Managers like entrepreneurs?
Answer : Interim Women Managers do need entrepreneurial skills, but do not go through the administrative hassles of starting off on one’s own. AVTAR I-WIN is a service offering which manages the I-WINNER’s flexi-career portfolio and ensures that she remains engaged in interesting assignments for as long as she wants.
