In support of the book, Winning Answers to 500 Interview Questions:
What days and hours are you available to work?
Why this question is being asked: To determine if you are available to work the hours of the job.
Strategy: Unless it has been made Clear that the job is during off hours, make it clear that you can work traditional hours but that you can also work overtime or other non-traditional hours when necessary.
Sample answer: I am available when you need me. I know that the traditional “9-5” no longer exists, so I plan to come in early and stay late when needed. If I am needed on occasion on the weekends, I can work that out as well.
