No details about hours in Job ad.

Quick question.
Currently working P/T and looking for further P/T hours. I've seen a job close advertised on two reputable job sites for a P/T receptionist close to where I currently work.
But annoying, it give no details whatsoever about hours, just that it's P/T.
Has anyone actually applied for a job without knowing details likes this? It doesn't feel quite right applying without knowing such details, i.e, whether the hours will be at all suitable.

Probably lazy recruiters, or recruiters who are hoping to get someone who will work on a zero hours contract. However, it doesn't take much time to send them a quick enquiry about hours..........Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0

It does actually say the job is permanent. Was thinking of sending an email but there are no actual contact details.0

How are people supposed to apply then? (Maybe by post?) I'd try googling the company for an email address or a phone number where I could get further deets.

It's proper awkward, I know. You just apply directly through the job site. It's not exactly a company, it's for one the consulting rooms in a street that has a long row of houses in which umpteen of them have been converted to private consulting rooms. So no clue which one it is.0

Nothing you can do but keep putting CV's in and ask questions when you get the call for the interview. Believe me been in same position. Even full-time jobs how hard is it to say what hours/days are needed in the advert? if they want fully flexible - is that till 10pm shifts or is that day evening night etc...
People just don't think about the person applying they are thinking the best thing to say to attract the right type of experience and skills but they don't often think of the practically of it.People don't know what they want until you show them.0 -
As a guess 16-24 is what I would assume; BUT I’d ask to be sure0

Completely kayalana. Always wondered why some places completely overlook advertising these details. You're right, how hard is it. I'll apply and IF I receive a call/email for an interview, I'll ask then, as you say.0

And they wonder why people don't turn up for interviews or don't get back to phone calls. Would save people a lot of time all round.
