How to Answer

Before you even apply with Air New Zealand, you need to be aware that the job requires you to work shifts that include days, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. Air New Zealand operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year, and the cargo team is expected to be on the job at every moment. If this question comes up during your interview, your interviewer will be looking to hear that you have the availability to work all required hours of the position. As you answer, talk about your flexibility on the job and how it relates to your personal life. If you do have any time commitments outside of work, be sure to be open and honest with your interviewer about any conflicts that you may have, while making it clear that you are able to handle the basic availability requirements.
