16. Are you available to work nights?
How to Answer
This could be tricky to answer if you cannot work nights. Answering this question with a 'no' isn't necessarily a deal breaker. The interviewer may know of a day shift opening in a few weeks and will keep your name on the back burner until then. Or, the interviewer may be able to work with your shift request. You must be honest to guarantee you end up in a role that will suit your scheduling needs.

Answer Example
"I currently work a day shift, 7 am to 5 pm. I am seeking a role with the same schedule. With that said, I am a team player and can certainly pick up the odd night shift to cover someone when needed."
