It is not uncommon for interviewers to ask questions about scheduling during the job interview. They want to see if you will be compatible with the organization's scheduling needs and the unusual requirements that face healthcare professionals. Most people who enter healthcare realize their jobs will have them working days, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overtime when needed, so this question should not come as a surprise. Let the interviewer know if you prefer day or evening shifts or do not have a preference. Also, let them know you can work holidays and weekends when necessary, showing you are a team player.

"No, I am used to working weekends and holidays, so that is not an issue. As far as day or evening shifts, I like a variety of both. I have worked a split schedule for the past four years, so I would be happy to continue if that is offered here. If not, I would prefer the night shift so I can work when my family is sleeping."

"I would prefer the day shift, as that is all I have ever worked. However, I can work the night shift if needed. And no, I do not have an issue working holidays and weekends. I entered this field knowing I would work an odd schedule, so that is to be expected."

"I am flexible with any schedule you give me, as my kids are grown, and my husband is deployed overseas. However, I prefer the day shift if I am given a choice."
