I emailed my resume to a comp and with in 15 minutes they asked me to come in for an interview. Here is the rub-I think it would be a fun job (much better than what I have now) but I really want and need to work part time (24-30 hours a week) to allow time with my family. I have looked closer to home for work, but my degree and field puts me communting an hour each way. If they make an offer, is it wrong to counter with "yes, but I would like to be part time"?

you need to tell the right up front and explain it in detail.I got my self in a pickle because I jump at a job before really thinking it out.I worked at a Job that sucked the job it self and the pay so when I was hired at Job for more pay I jumped But I regret it now I have to work every sat and that really rubs me the wrong way as we go camping in the summer.I have been working 40 hrs and it was supposed to be part time.Please be upfront and inform them what it is that you want.But don't back down.Good Luck

Since you have a job now, the answer is it is not wrong. Consider also a Full time position at 10 hours per day 4 days a week. Put both options on the table with your explanation of your family life.

Call and cancel the interview. They are looking for full time for a reason and won't appreciate that you are wasting their time. I can guarantee they won't go part time just for you. There will be people out there who want a full time job. Keep looking for part time work only if that's what you want. You should have at least mentioned this on the phone since they did call you. As a full time employee you might have had some leverage to try and go part time, as an interview candidate you just seem to be wasting their time.

there is not any rule against going for the two interviews. whether you haven't any longer any purpose of taking the area time activity, going to the interview supplies a minimum of that somewhat greater in "interviewing" adventure. The greater interviews you circulate by, the greater soft you would be with them. in case you do have an purpose of taking the area-time activity, then going to the 2nd interview will basically supply you with greater advice approximately it so as which you additionally could make a greater counseled decision. superb of success!

i think you really want to be up front about this. let them know you are very interested in working for their company but you have prior commitments and just cannot accept full time..
