Post by GT750rider »

Not sure if this has been covered before..... Can a part-timer on 20 hours per week apply for a full time position ?

i'd be interested to know how you have arrived at this zx, my understanding is that a ft would take preference over a pt and seniority does not play a part.

Quite simply no. get your application in (if you want one of the vacancies) and your rep to lodge a disagreement about it.
