I have applied for a full time job in clerical work, worried about the long hours?
Asked by Anon
I have not done full time (40 hours) for 25 years due to family commitments. I have applied for a full time job but i'm worried about how it will feel doing 40 hrs. I did consider asking at the interview if it would be possible to do the job part time or as a job share ( they advertised for a full time person) would it be OK to ask this? Can anyone advise me how to tackle the job or how it's going to feel?

Best Answer:
honestly...you're going to be shattered as it will be a shock to your system! but then you'll get used to it and it won't be so bad hopefully. why not give it a go and if you struggle after a few weeks talk to them and then ask about part time or job share? i think they will be more willing if you at least try rather than asking at this stage. good luck
