someonehadmyusername

just searching for jobs on net for my partner when i came across a customer service advisor job for 15 hours for £12500

how can this be?
my partners old job only paid £11000 for 40 hrs

how can you earn just as much in a pt job as some ppl earn in a full time job?

Is it paid pro rata; so for full time you get £12500 but for 15 hours you get £12500 x 15/40 ?

I get £15.5k for a 20 hr job, pro rata already calculated. They do exist, and they're much better. It means I get 139 holiday hours rather than 25 days, but I can cope with that.

Mind you, I wouldn't have given up the full time freelancing for anything less.

Go for it.
