The interviewer asks this question to see your availability and flexibility to work non-standard working hours. Every company's work schedule is different, and they want to see if working weekends will be an issue for you. If you have a prior commitment that would keep you from working weekends, explain what that is. If the interviewer understands your reason for not being available on weekends, they may still hire you and adjust your schedule accordingly. If you have no outside commitments and can work weekends, that is even better.

Avoid saying you can work weekends if you cannot. You should also avoid saying you cannot work weekends without giving a reason. Explain your availability and be honest in your response.

"If you hire me, I am available to work Sundays, but I have an ongoing commitment every Saturday for the next three months. I am the soccer coach for my son's team, and we have games every Saturday. During the off-season, I could work Saturdays when needed."
