Retail jobs require a wide range of hours, including evenings, weekends, holidays, overtime, and split shifts. Assure the interviewer that you can commit to a wide range of hours. If anything in your schedule hinders your availability, be sure to address this. For example, if you take a night class two nights per week, explain why you are unavailable those nights and for how much longer.

"I am happy to offer a flexible schedule and to work overtime as needed. I take an evening college course on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I would not be available those days after 5 p.m. for the next three months."
