What are the minimum amount of hours you can work part-time? Let's say, at a YMCA front desk.?

What are the minimum amount of hours expected per week for a part-time job at McDonald's or as a desk person at the YMCA. Is it okay to ask if you can work a low amount of hours? I would like to work 8-10 hours per week. It seems like a tricky thing to ask. If you aren't willing to work more hours will you not get the job? I don't want work too many hours because I go to school. I just need some money for hobbies and food. Has anybody else wondered this or been in this situation? Also, the references in the previous employment section are old, meaning I haven't been in contact with them for more than a year. Do employers always check references?

Best Answer:
You haven't gotten an answer yet. I don't know what the minimum amount most people want is but these guys don't know either. The first guy reasoned that more hours are preferred. Duh! Everybody knows that. For some people, school and grades are important. These first two guys are just passing judgement.

I fI were looking for an employee, this would concern me and I would probably move on to the next candidate. Why would I train someone who will only work 8 hours a week for me when I can get someone else who will do 15 to 20? It also tells me your other priorities might interfere with your work schedule frequently.
