As I enjoy doing my work, nights and weekends don't make a difference to me. Moreover, I'm flexible, I can adapt to any environment quickly.

Thank you mam/sir for asking.

As you are answering this question, it is important to keep in mind the needs of the company and how you would be an asset whenever you work.

If you have no problem working a hectic schedule, say so.

Make sure to mention what would be preventing you from working nights and weekends if it would be a problem (example: family responsibilities).

Be honest about your availability.

Emphasize your desire to obtain the position and how you would benefit the company.

Honesty is vital with this question. You do not want to agree to a schedule that would be an inconvenience, but you also want to reaffirm your desire to work at the company.

Mistakes You Should Avoid.

Be straightforward with your response and don't give an answer that's wishy-washy.

Don't lie and say that schedule works if it genuinely doesn't.

Don't forget to mention the reason why that schedule wouldn't work.

Simple answer.

I would be willing to come in if there's a project that needs to be completed on time; however, with my family, I would prefer not regularly working on night or weekends. Would it be possible to handle some extra work at home so that I can provide great work for you but also spend time with my kids.

Many employers will be willing to work with you if you have other responsibilities. A qualified candidate with a busy schedule is often more desirable than an unqualified candidate who is able to work any time. Your skills are ultimately what should matter most.

I won't say that I will work 24/7 in your office. But, I will work efficiently and give my 100 per cent in the time I have given work. So, I can either in a day or in the night.

As far as I know, I've not gained enough experience in my life. I was more of a home staying person. So, working in random shifts would feel more like an adventure. Once I learn things, I hope I'll get promoted and do bigger things for the organization with the experiences I gained.

Nowadays most of the jobs offer comes with evening/weekend. In this case, we don't have much choice we need a job to make our ends meet so why lose such an opportunity just go for it. A day or night job is a job. The choice is yours either you take it or leave it.
