I like to preplan and do not procrastinate in my work hence I will be able to complete my work in given deadline, but when project requires weekend support or late nights I won't hesitate in doing so if necessary, however, I think that will be in rare case only.

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.

Sir, frankly speaking, everyone wants to enjoy at weekends. But if company needs my presence that is my responsibility to do sir. About night shifts in these days there is no such a difference between morning and night. And for girls, I think the company will provide all security issues.

I can manage weekends, and even at nights.

First of all, I need to say weekends are for fell free with family and friends and enjoy the off days. But the fact is when we are doing job we should ready for any situation while for doing job in day or in night it depends the situation if company wants me to work in nights on weekend I will definitely do this and it will also be a chance to judge myself that I will do work in nights or not. It will be a good experience. !

Normally, the working time of a flight attendant is quite flexible. So, it is more than fine to me to work at night or weekend since it is my job and my responsibility. I can spend time with myself and my family after that.
