[quote=Anonymous]I am seeking part-time employment (about 20 hours a week) to be home more with my kids. I have over 10 years experience in a professional capacity (advanced degree, content expert) but I am prioritizing limited work hours over the type of job I am pursuing. So I am applying for some jobs that are more junior, more admin asst in nature. The question is, what should I say in a cover letter to be considered for more junior part-time positions? I am concerned they will think I am just desperately applying for this while I seek a more senior full-time job. And, if I get an interview, also not sure what to say. Unsure whether I should volunteer the fact that I have kids and am seeking part time to be home more, since they are not allowed to ask if I have kids, and of course people could have any number of reasons why they want part-time work.
