12. Our shifts begin at 3 AM and 12 PM. Overtime may be required. Are you able to accommodate?
What You Need to Know
Before answering scheduling questions, it's essential to be clear on the expectations of this role. If you haven't had a chance to clarify the scheduling needs of the TSA, now would be the perfect time to ask. One question may be, 'Will I be working a dedicated shift, or will I be switching between days and evenings?'
You must be honest about your availability. If you are available to work overtime hours, that is great! If you cannot work overtime, clearly discuss your limitations while offering more solutions than you do problems.

Answer Example
"I am willing to be available for whatever shifts are assigned to me. I'd do anything to land this job and put my all in with dedication. I watched the TSO Realistic Job Preview. It's my goal to eventually work my way up to being a bomb appraisal officer. What do the schedules look like for that position?"
