Be realistic with what you can take on, but above all, be flexible! Plan ahead by researching what the job entails and looking at your schedule for availability. If the job requires 40 hours a week, make sure that's something you can do. If you know they may need nights and weekends, see if you can clear your schedule to be flexible to work those times. You don't need to tell your employer everything on your schedule; just be clear on what you can offer.

"In my current position, I work a rotating schedule that includes week-long stretches of both day and PM shifts and an every other weekend rotation. Having a family and active kids, I am open to any schedule just as long as I know my schedule ahead of time. Can you provide detail on how scheduling in the department works?"

"Having worked in a large hospital setting for many years, I can work any shift. I enjoy working night shifts if I need to be scheduled there. Having grandchildren, I like the flexibility of knowing my shift ahead of time, but I can cover shifts on a moment's notice if needed."
