I recently had a job interview for a sales assistant position that was advertised as both part time and full time. It was a paired interview, the other interviewee was going for a team lead position.
The interviewer asked if we'd like part time or full time hours. Other interviewee said full time and I said part time, 24 hours. I didn't even want 24 and have since found a job that's around 14-20 a week.
The interviewer specifically asked me why I want part time and if I have other commitments. Why not ask the person going full time? It puts you in an awkward position as some employees won't hire people who are studying, or parents or careers because they worry these other commitments will impact performance.
This shouldn't have been a question right? I'm right to be pissed off?
