The nature of the business is that bars and restaurants are busier on the weekends and open most holidays. Therefore, if an applicant does not have experience working holidays and weekends, the hiring manager will hesitate to hire that candidate.

This question reminds you that having off on the weekend or during holidays will be a rare occurrence, especially since you are new to the team. So include reasons why you like to work those shifts.

"I enjoy working holidays and weekends because it's the busiest time in the bar. In addition, I enjoy seeing the customers enjoying themselves celebrating the end of the workweek or special occasion. What I enjoy most is that I get paid to be a part of that experience."
