10. Are you available to work night shifts?
How to Answer
Don't consider the interview a bust if you can't tell the interviewer that you are ready to start on the night shift. The position you are interviewing for might be for the day shift, but the interviewer wants to see if covering for other people would be possible. If you can flip-flop your schedule, let the interviewer know. If you cannot work the night shift, be honest, and explain why.

Answer Example
"At this point, I wouldn't be able to work the night shift because I have an infant I need to care for. But if you could give me one week's notice to rearrange a few things, I could occasionally work the night shift."
