Tell the interviewer about any prior commitments or conflicts you may have. If the job description states that overtime is required, be prepared to show your willingness to work beyond normal business hours.

The job description will likely state if this job requires overtime hours. If it is listed as a responsibility of this role, be prepared to say you are willing to work overtime. The role of an admissions counselor likely includes weekends and evenings when prospective students can tour and visit the school. Even if you have a prior commitment or two, be honest about your ability to work extra hours.

"I know this role will call for some occasional overtime, and I am more than willing to work the extra hours. As long as I have adequate notice, I should have no problem working various events and staying beyond normal hours."

"As long as I have adequate notice, I am prepared to work overtime hours. I do have a grad class on Thursday evenings, but beyond that, my schedule is pretty open, and I'm able to staff events and work late on projects, as needed."
