Question - if you started a job doing 12 hours, then went to 30, then now 27, what do you put? It's all the same job.... I've put part time so far, but as it's pretty much nearly full time...?
Nope. It's not overtime. It's complicated!
I had a weekend post only for a year, then after that a weekday post also became available. I secured that post. Putting my hours from 12 to 30. I got to a point where 30 hours was too much to handle, as I had to do several hours on a Friday, then work all day Saturday. I had no full day off. So I arranged to cut out my Friday's 3 hours and make it 27.
I said it was complicated!
well why not say part time between 12-30 hours. Or between 12-27 hours if you dont want to go higher. Or just say part time and dont put any hours down.
Hey
Go with the majority. What did you mostly do? I know it wasn't always nearly full time but did you do more hours most of the time. If so put full time.
Full time is 3 7.5 hours in most companies what would full time in the library be?

Sounds like you're working three quarters of a week then. But do you have to put down how many hours you worked, anyway? Why not just let them assume it's full time (and tell them what hours you actually worked if they ask)?
I'd put I work 4 days a week if thats what you do if you do 5 days then id say full time

Are you looking for a full time job or a part time one?
I'd also say that if you don't put it down it's not going to matter - on my cv I don't have the hours worked.

Then I would either leave it out or say you work part time at the library

i think i would put part time, they usually ask in an interview about previous employment so when they say 'you worked part time in your last job' just sort of explain the vary in hours. could always work for you if they see that you are prepared to put in extra hours, even if you arent able to in your next job...when you apply for it that is. wish i could be that organised lol
good luck with your cv
Just say that you worked part-time - you can explain, if they ask you, in the interview.
If you say that you worked 'part time plus extra hours when required' - even if that isn't wholly true - it makes you sound more flexible and available for work!
Also, when writing which skills you've gained from your previous roles, think about the kind of jobs you'd be applying for - what would they like a candidate to have? How does your CV show that you've got applicable skills for the role?
Keep it simple, to the point, well organised and structured, and less than two sides of A4.
Amazingly, I've got it down to 2 sides A4. Even though it needs tweaking.
Amazing, because, I taught full time, was SENCO etc in that job, then did supply teaching, along with SO MUCH voluntary work, then my current job. Plus qualifications and training.
I think older folks should be allowed more pages!
And what the heck do I do with agencies that ask for an 'academic reference'? I got my degree in '92! Admittedly I've done some postgraduate study since then, but not in the field related to the agency... I'm not applying anywhere as yet... but..
