I'm 30, I remember going in for a PT job and telling them my availability and them going “kk sounds great!” and only working those shifts a week and hours. Or, saying I'm only available on specific days and times, and that was fine. Now it feels like companies need you to be free 7 days a week for any shift? It makes no sense. They only end up giving you 1-2 shifts a week, but you have to be open to ANY day. How is that really part-time?
I'm in Canada and have been noticing this. I work a FT job Monday-Friday and just wanted an evening or weekend gig, but it's VERY difficult to find it seems.
