Question 18 of 40

Are you willing to work longer hours than scheduled?

Depending on the position you are applying for, there may be a high demand for less desirable shifts, expectations for putting in overtime or weekend hours, or expected on-call coverage during staff shortages. The interviewer wants to evaluate your flexibility and expectations for the position. It is best to be honest. If you have other priorities or demands on your time that aren't conducive to working lots of overtime or covering other shifts, then it is worth clarifying this now. Both employee and employer should learn if the job isn't a good fit earlier rather than later.
