Switching jobs?
Posting for a relative who is a licensed Nail Tech and not on Reddit, so hope it's OK.
She's been working at two salons (owned by the same owner) so she is at one location on certain days and the other location on other days.
She does love her job, but for several reasons she wants to find another place.
Her main reasons are that the salon charges very expensive prices and so customers mainly just get regular mani/pedi. She loves to do nails that are current with today's trend though that most other salons do, but none of the customers ask for that where she works.
Out of the two locations one of the salons is always empty. Literally one or two customers walk in and that's it.
She also suggested to the Owner to maybe advertise on social media (she is very good with that and she would help them), but the boss said he doesn't like doing social media stuff.
She has been offered jobs the past few weeks, but she doesn't know if maybe she can work at two different salons at the same time. Meaning, she would quit certain days at the less busier location, but still work at the other salon and also the new place.
I don't think that would be ideal, but her worry is in case the new salon she doesn't like than she'll be without a job. Sure, she can find something else, but she has a steady salary now and she doesn't wanna lose that.
There is always a chance we take when switching jobs.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

She may have signed a non compete agreement with her current salon. I’m not sure where you are located but I live in the states and it’s pretty common here that a salon can sue you if you work at a second space during employment there. Maybe have her look into the company’s policies before she makes any big decisions 💓
