• How much notice do you need to give if you are decreasing hours at your current job? How slowly and flexibly do they allow you to decrease hours?
• Over what period of time do you need to grow your hours? For instance, can you tolerate building up to 15 hours over a full year or do your life circumstances not afford you that flexibility?
• What would be your ideal work hours to start? (Days of week, time ranges of day). Evenings and weekends are slightly preferred if possible.

Of note, please comment on if you could realistically refer to your psych office position from your other position.
