Before you offer up your evenings and weekends, be sure that you are clear on what they need from you for this position by carefully reading the posting details and job description for the position. Typically, the hours are laid out in the job description. If it only says part-time or full-time and you are asked about the hours you're available to work, it is okay to ask questions regarding the expected hours for clarification. Once they have laid out the expectations, you can tell them that the expectations meet your availability. You want to show them you're excited about the job, and you are willing to make yourself available to work when they need you.
