Are you having any luck Megan? - I have eventually found something - looking since October - in same field as before and is a mix of full-time/part-time - only a 5 month contract but should be good - I start tomorrow. I actually just found it on Seek, they were looking for full-time and only 3 months so I figured I could get my mum to over for that - but in the cover letter I put that I even if they didn't feel I was suitable for the role advertised that I was interested in part-time work and I know how often they might want an extra pair of experienced hands (I could see it was direct with a company and not a recruiter so thought was worth a shot). Well it turns out it was that part-time that got me the interview as they actually prefer having someone part-time for 5 months rather than full-time for 3 months (they didn't think would get people wanting part-time if advertised as such). I will need to do some weeks of full-time but mum is going to be here (or at least on call somewhere in OZ) for the extra couple of days so should work out really well.

So it can be worth applying for full-time but stating an interest in part-time particularly if the job isn't advertised through an agency.
