25. In our industry, our hours often fall outside of a typical 8AM - 4PM. Are you willing to work overtime and participate in extra-curricular activities?
How to Answer
The education industry is often in demand, even outside of typical school hours and activities. If you are applying to be a teacher, you will need to be available from the late afternoon into the evening and possibly on Saturdays. If you have restrictions in your schedule, this is a great time to address those restrictions.
