Solid advice! With some persistence (and a strong résumé), I was able to secure a 32-hour position a few years ago. Like most jobs, I found it through networking (a Papers We Love Meetup). But all good things come to an end and I'm looking again.
The main issue is a lack of institutional support:
• While there are a decent number of potential employers who would be open to 32-hour-full-time, there's not a good way to reach them. RIP 30hourjobs.com I'm afraid.
• Recruiters are completely baffled by the idea that "full-time" doesn't necessarily mean 40 hours, even if the IRS determination is minimum 30/week or 130/month: https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/employers/identifying-full-time-employees https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/employers/identifyin...
• Many companies simply don't have the HR flexibility to handle anything other than 40-hour full-time cogs. (I think this may be different in parts of Europe, where I understand there are laws that allow employees to choose to work fewer hours, so companies have to find a way to accommodate them.)
