QUESTION 7 OF 30

As much as possible, Boston Children's Hospital tries to offer flexible scheduling for employees. Is there a particular shift or certain days that would work best for you?

Many people work more than one job or have dependents who require care and need to have a flexible schedule. Others simply prefer to work one shift rather than another. Being up front with the interviewer about what schedule suits your preference could help prevent conflict later on. It is easier to plan a schedule you can agree on than it is to fix problems that arise due to fear of being rejected. Be honest and direct.

"I am not married and have no children at this time. So, I am pretty flexible with my schedule. If I had a choice, I would prefer the late shift, as I am a bit of a night owl. However, I am excited about the opportunity to become a part of Boston Children's Hospital and am willing to work where I'm needed."

"I am a single mom with two school-aged children. Ideally, the day shift would be a better fit for me. This would allow me to fulfill both my work and home responsibilities without a conflict."
