    Agreed, if they're not already looking for a part-time employee, they're probably not interested in a part-time employee. Commented Nov 24, 2011 at 10:21

    Plus, you will be unavailable almost half of the time your colleagues need you. Commented Nov 24, 2011 at 13:51

    @DeanHarding I am very candid with the fact that I'm looking for part time, both in the initial mail and phone conversation and when asked. If they aren't looking for part time, why are they interviewing me in the first place and more importantly why do they try and get me to work full time? Commented Nov 25, 2011 at 18:32

    @Mikle: Hmm, that does seem unusual then. If you've explicitly said you're looking for part-time, and they interviewed you anyway, it kind of indicates they're not really paying attention... or maybe they think they can convince you otherwise after the interview? Commented Nov 26, 2011 at 0:26
  • @DeanHarding I've interviewed with 4 people, our of the 2 found some stuff I can do half time or as a freelancer, and 2 were adamant about full time. I've also talked to a few other people, all of them said "just keep an open mind for a full time position" which is an Israeli way of saying they are looking for full time :) Commented Nov 26, 2011 at 20:29
