I wondered what the general attitudes to part-time workers in the professions is? If the job category is one in high demand are employers likely to consider part-timers or flexible workers?

Can you define part-time? Do you mean less hours per week? or less weeks per year?
As you are coming to Calgary (area) I would say a lot of employers would be willing to consider flexible working for sure.

Probably a combination of both less hours and less weeks.

Hubby had phone interview with Brit in Clagary last night. They are desperate to recruit- it all looks pretty positive and he also thought I would get part-time work - I am an engineering geologist and construction is booming

I should think companies are flexible enough to let you work part time.
Even nursing is gradually adopting flexible and self scheduling hours.
No harm asking the company .Usually it is the other way round that
people grumbled about not getting full time position because they
cannot afford to work part time and not getting benefits.
Hope that helps.
