Animal shelter workers are often required to work long hours, especially if you are a full-time employee. You may be required to work overtime if a coworker calls in sick or during a time of crisis. Before you agree to any schedule, be sure to know your availability! Now is a great time to ask about the schedule. You also want to express that you are willing to work the hours required and that you can be flexible in emergency situations.
