Can you switch from full time to part time work?
Asked by ♥Laydee-D♥
Hey Guys,
I'm almost 18 and I've been looking to work full time because I'm not in school right now. But then i'll be going to college in September, and I won't be able to work full time.
I was wondering that when I get a full time job if I can switch it to a part time job because of my classes.
Or would the best thing be to start applying for part time jobs only now?

Best Answer:
Only your employer will be able to tell you that. I would just approach the situation in a professional manner. A lot of times, companies understand when their employees (especially younger ones) go off to college, and are actually pleased that they want a part-time position and don't quit on them all together.
If you're just trying to get a full-time job somewhere else if your school is in a different area, I would suggest applying for just a part-time job. This way you and your employer know what you're getting into right away. There's no deceiving.
Hope that helps.
