Before answering scheduling questions, be clear on expectations. Make sure you know all the details and language of the job posting. If their expectations regarding the number of hours you'd work or the shift you'd take on aren't clear, mention that you did your research and noticed it wasn't listed anywhere. This is the perfect chance to clarify their scheduling needs!
If it turns out their schedule expectations won't work for you, think about what you can offer and see if you can meet in the middle. Express that you are typically a flexible person, and you'd be open to discussing it further. It's much better to discuss these things in an interview than commit to a schedule that won't work for you. You're interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you, and you both want to make sure this opportunity is the right fit for everybody.

"I am available for full-time work, preferably 8-5 Monday to Friday. I am happy to be a team player and work overtime, as required. Will these hours be enough to meet your expectations?"

Consider asking, "What are the scheduling expectations for this position?" If they expect you to work 12-hour days, it would be important to know that before you respond with, "Absolutely! No problem!" You want to be sure that you can meet their expectations.

Yes. I work over 40 hours a week because I work more than one job already because I coach water polo. Getting the job done is always a priority.

Yes, I am willing to work 40 hours a week full-time and don’t mind working overtime. At my old job, I usually sign up for overtime.
