I am a single woman with no children.I currently work full time.I have ageing parents who also take up a considerable amount of my time.Between work and my parents there is no time left for me.In my current circumstances I could afford to work part time, although this would not be possible with my present employers, who do not like employing part time staff, but what reasons can I give to new potential employers as to why I want to work part time?If I say I need more time to spend with my parents, will they think I'm a liability? On the other hand, if I say I want more time to myself, will employers think that I'm not committed to my job, which I am? I would like to spend some of the extra time doing voluntary work; is this an acceptable reason to give? If I do obtain part time employment, will I ever be taken seriously by employers again? After all, there may come a time when I need to return to full time work.
