QUESTION 23 OF 30

Security is a 24/7 service. What are your preferred hours?

Many security professionals work shifts that can range from early mornings, evenings, and midnight shifts. Depending on your seniority, you may be required to work on holidays and weekends.

If you have restrictions in your schedule, this is the best time to mention your scheduling needs. It's best that you are to the point, and give a clear breakdown of what you are willing and able to do when it comes to your work schedule. It's essential to keep your wording positive. So, rather than stating what you can't do - start with what you can.

"I am available to work during regular daytime hours, any day of the week. If you need me for the odd evening shift, I am happy to do what I can to accommodate. Also, I understand that weekends and holidays may be a requirement in this position."

"My preferred hours are evenings as most of my days are spent attending classes. I am also available to work holidays and weekends. I understand that situations can change on a dime, so I will do my best to be flexible and available when needed."
