On the one hand, if you are hoping that the job will turn into a full-time position, you want your prospective employer to consider you first should the opportunity arise.
On the other hand, you don't want to raise the doubt that should a full-time position present itself, you would walk out of your part-time commitment.
Be cautious when you respond and keep your answer general, so you're not committing to one type of employment or the other.
Sample Answers
- Right now, my education/family/children prevent me from considering full-time employment, but I wouldn't rule it out at some point in the future.
- What is important to me is that I enjoy the work and the people I'm working with. I have many interests, and having a part-time job allows me the time to pursue them.
