Possible? Yes. Likely? Not really.

In Reply to: Week Day Time Work Only - weighing my options

Perhaps you ought to read some of the other boards here. Work flow situations have everyone "flexing" into the late afternoon and evening hours at least a day or two a week to make their line counts, and very few places hire without a requirement for at least 8 hours over the weekend. Most of those large companies that don't have a work flow problem also have waiting lists for the daylight positions, and tend to fill within before hiring from outside, meaning the opening is in the newly vacated afternoon/evening/night shift.

Now if you are one of the lucky people, you may find a job with a small company that is looking for clinic work that will be Monday-Friday, strictly daylight hours. However, if they are advertising for that position, keep in mind that everybody and their brother will also be submitting an application and your resume will go toe-to-toe with some with people with 20-30 years experience. You don't say what your experience level is, but, and I'm not being smart alecky here, but if you thought home MT meant M-F 9-5, I'm guessing it's not quite that many years.

You're on the right track going for the little local companies; they are much more likely to have a schedule that suits you. Good luck; as my subject line says, it is possible that you'll be in the right place at the right time to stumble into a job with the days and hours that you want.
