Hi there, I hope someone can advise me.
I've been suffering with anxiety and depression for most of my life. There are many reasons for this but it hasn't been helped by a struggle to find regular employment.
I'm so desperate to find work and I'm sure that it will have a positive effect on my life. At the same time I know I would not be able to cope with full time hours. In the future it's something I'd like to aim for but I know it's not an option in the present.
Of course full time entry level jobs are few and far between anyway. But if a potential employer at an interview asked me why I only want part time hours, what do I say? Do I be honest and disclose my anxiety and depression?
I know there are many reasons people work part time, but I feel in my circumstances there's no real reason and I might look lazy? Maybe that's me worrying too much!
Thanks.
