So if you worked 4 years as a part time employee and 2 years as full time, recruiters divide the parttime work by two?
Had a recruiter tell me that my 6 years of work experience is actually 4 years.
Is this how it generally works?

I would agree with recruiter

Curious as to why you'd agree. I mean once you're competent does it really matter? Most part of the work is basically repetitive so there's no added value if you did it for 20 or 40 hours during that 6 year period.

This doesn’t make sense to me. I have a colleague who has been part time at 4 days a week for most of her career. She has immense institutional knowledge and superb skills, and I would never think of her as having 12 years experience instead of 24.

Exactly! I've never had to deal with anything like this before.

I don't think there's an agreed equation for it - surely it depends on what you worked on during that time and the range of experience you got?

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced. The timeframe for the full transition of all work to the vendors is approximately 6 months. This is the second time in 14 months I have had to look for another position due to outsourcing of work. Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?
