When deciding which masseuse job is right for you, consider your working schedule, the environment you prefer to work in and the clientele you desire and are the most qualified to work with. Consider, also, the rate of pay that you would like to make and factor this into your decision-making process. Ultimately, select the masseuse job that you believe will be the best fit for your career advancement, as well as the one that offers you the schedule and the pay you desire.

Many masseuse jobs are only offered on a part-time basis. In part, this is due to the fact that the job requires physical and mental concentration, and you may need time to rest between massages. Full-time positions do exist, however. Determining whether you want to work full or part time may help you in making a decision on which job offer is best for you.

When considering which masseuse job to accept, take the number of hours being offered into account, as well as the number of clients you will likely be able to provide a massage to during those hours. Try to calculate the rate of pay you will be able to earn by providing massage services on a part- or full-time basis and consider accepting the position that comes closest to helping you meet your financial goals. You may also want to consider the scheduling hours being offered and only consider massage jobs that will work well with your overall schedule.

Hotels, retreats and spas often offer masseuse and masseur jobs. Private massage companies may also offer jobs that may provide massage services on-site or may send a masseuse to a client’s home or office. When deciding on the best masseuse job, consider the environment you prefer to work in and eliminate any that do not appeal to you or that you do not feel will benefit your massage career in the long run.

The type of clientele frequenting a massage business may also be worth your consideration when choosing a masseuse job. Many masseur jobs cater specifically to women while others are designated to give massages to men and some businesses cater to both. In some instances, a masseuse job may also require providing massages to people with specific physical ailments. Having a clear idea on the clientele you prefer to work with and that you are qualified to work with may help you make a sound decision when selecting the masseuse job that is right for you.
