Many people work more than one job or have a one-parent home, which requires a flexible schedule. Others simply prefer to work one shift over another. Being upfront with the interviewer about your scheduling preferences could prevent conflict later on. It is easier to plan a schedule you can agree on than to fix problems that arise due to a fear of being rejected. Be honest and direct.

While it is good to explain the schedule that would work best for you, it is also a great idea to show the interviewer you are flexible in your schedule. If you cannot be flexible, explain what outside obligation keeps you from working any shift the company gives you.

"I am a single dad with two school-aged children. Ideally, the day shift would be a better fit for me. This schedule would allow me to fulfill my work and home responsibilities without conflict. However, my sister helps out when needed, so I could work any schedule you give me."
