This position requires a flexible schedule as we are open evenings, weekends, and most holidays. Are you able to commit to these hours?
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."
"I understand this role will include working evenings, weekends, and holidays. I am available to work anytime and am happy to work overtime as well."
