"Yes, I am available to work weekends and holidays when needed. I understand the nature of this industry and have no problem working weekends and holidays. I have a class I take every Saturday, but my professor will let me make up the class if I have to work."

"Yes, I am available to work weekends and holidays when needed. I understand the nature of this industry and have no problem working whatever schedule you give me. I have joint custody of my children and have them every other weekend. If I must work a weekend when I have them, I have friends I can call on to help watch them while I work."
