How would you react to working overtime?
Careers in the news and publishing industries often require reporters to work overtime in order to complete the work. Sports reporters must be willing to work the necessary hours when a game is on a rain or weather delay, or come in on the weekend for a makeup game. A hiring manager wants to hire a candidate who is willing to get the job done, even if it means working a little extra that week.
"I am familiar with the schedule reporters have, and I know that at the end of the day, sports need to be covered. Therefore, I will do whatever I can to make sure I will be there, however long it takes."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Pretty good, most of the international sport is played overseas.

Consider giving a little more detail to provide the interviewer with more insight into your availability and willingness to work overtime. Are you willing to travel a set number of days or weeks per month? Do you enjoy traveling overseas?
