The Most Important Interview Questions - Related to Working Shifts - How Do You Feel About Working Nights And Weekends?

 

 

This question is usually asked to see who would actually be dedicated to the job and how committed you are to your work. It is about personal choice and the Job need. Some companies want employees to work around the clock, so it is not unusual to be asked, “How do you feel about working nights and weekends” during a job interview. In some jobs, it is going to be essential for you to work unusual hours – and if that’s the case the interviewer probably wouldn’t even be asking you the question.

  If you really want the job in your hand, then accepting the challenge is not the big deal. Some candidates who work at night may have trouble balancing their work and family lives, so if you are unwilling to accept it, then answer this question in a way that shows you would be dedicated to the position regardless of what your schedule would be like. Generally, an interviewer is most likely to be asking you this question if working overtime/evenings/weekends, isn’t in fact, the norm for your job.

Note - General Tips:

 - Firstly represent yourself passionate towards your work. 

 - Be honest about your availability

 - Try to answer YES if possible.

 - Make sure to mention what would be preventing you from working nights and weekends if it would be a problem.

 - Show your dedication to the job and position.

 - Add something from your family that makes you routine schedule after the job work time.

 - Be straightforward with your response and don’t give an answer that’s would lose your chance of getting the job. 

 - If you think that it is for a short duration or for a limited time, then it should be fine.

 

Answer 1: Working night and at weekend is not a big issue for me if I am really dedicated towards my job and goal. Accepting challenges is the biggest step towards success and if I got any work and I was unable to complete it in the given time period I will definitely do my work on the weekend or night too.
