QUESTION 24 OF 35

What type of work schedule are you looking for?

Talk to the hiring manager about your schedule and flexibility in hours. Be honest about your availability and expectations and ensure that the interviewer is clear with you on their expectations, as well. Read the job post carefully, and use this time to ask questions about the schedule requirements. It's better to have the conversations up front, to ensure the schedule pattern and requirements are compatible with what you're looking for.

"I understand that as an anesthesiologist my hours may be sporadic and not always pre-determined. I went into this field with a strong understanding that I would be expected to work a wide range of hours. I can make myself available whenever needed."

"Ideally, I work prefer to work Monday-Friday on the evening shift, and I would be available to do a weekend and holiday rotation. I understand that there are likely on-call requirements as well, which I am more than happy to cover."

"I'm primarily looking for a day shift position knowing that it will include some weekends. I know that this position often requires extra shifts, especially when there are emergencies, so I'm happy to accommodate those needs to ensure our patients are cared for."
