Pshh places that want to avoid hiring full time will gladly take your 39 hours.
30 hours is what's normally considered full time, but there is no federally mandated minimum, so it's really up to the individual employers.
Correct: I have had two jobs where I only worked 32 hours/week, but was considered a full time employee with benefits and all that.
However, just because your employer considers you full-time doesn't mean other organizations will. When I was getting my mortgage, it was with one of those 32 hr/week jobs, and my loan company would not sign off on an approval until I could show a paystub with 40 hours/week.
I told them I'm considered full time at my company at 32 hours, and they basically said that's great, but their policy is 40.
