I'm currently on maternity leave and didn't intend to go back to work until ds is 1 in September but I was made redundant a couple of weeks ago.
I knew this was coming and have been looking since last year for part time work in my area (management level accounting) and there has been literally not one job in a 40 mile radius for months and months so am quite worried now as to long it'll take me to get a new role.
My dh says I should apply for full time work then if I get offered the role to ask for it to be part time! Is this ok? Would employers take my request seriously or just be annoyed that I wasted their time applying for a full time role which I cannot accept on their terms?
I have to go back to work as sadly as my dh cannot support us on his wage alone but we can get by on me working part time.
Quite worried about it all now :-(
