I find that someone looking for "part time" work is kind of suggesting that the role isn't important to them, or they don't plan to stick around. I say that as both an employer and a former freelancer. As an employer, hiring is a pain in terms of time and resources, so you want to get it right. By contrast, I find that someone representing themselves as a "fractional" expert suggests that they are serious and plan to stick around. Many times they are very experienced and have hourly rates that would make it difficult to afford employing them full time, but 2-3 days a week is tolerable. It's really how you position it. I currently employ a fractional professional.
