What hours can you work?

Depending on the position you are applying for, there may be a high demand for less desirable shifts, expectations for putting in overtime or weekend hours, or expected on-call coverage when experiencing staff shortages. This question gauges your overall flexibility and expectations for what the role entails.

It is best to be honest. If you have other priorities or demands on your time that aren't conducive to working lots of overtime or covering other shifts, it is worth clarifying this now. It is better for both an employee and an employer to learn that the job isn't a good fit earlier rather than later.
