      How to Answer

      Being flexible with the schedule you are willing to work is always a plus. However, many people work more than one job or have a one parent home which requires them to have a flexible schedule. Others simply prefer to work one shift rather than another. Being up front with the interviewer about what schedule suits your preference could help prevent conflict later on. It is easier to plan a schedule you can agree on than it is to fix problems that arise due to fear of being rejected. Be honest and direct.

      "Yes, I am prepared to work that type of schedule. My family and I always plan special events around my work schedule. Also, part of us giving back has always been that I like to offer to work some extra time for those who have small children or other responsibilities."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      It's totally okay to have restrictions on your time. It's best to lead with the hours that do suit you vs. what you cannot do. I have provided an example below.
      "My preferred schedule is weekdays, 9-5. I am happy to help out in a pinch; however, personal time with my family is very important to me."
