Todays Question :

How
do you feel about working nights and weekends?

TRAPS: [/b]Blurt
out no way, Jose and you can kiss the job offer goodbye. But what if you have a family and want to
work a reasonably normal schedule? Is
there a way to get both the job and the schedule you want?

BEST
ANSWER:[/b] First, if youre a confirmed workaholic, this
question is a softball lob. Whack it out
of the park on the first swing by saying this kind of schedule is just your
style. Add that your family understands
it. Indeed, theyre happy for you, as
they know you get your greatest satisfaction from your work.

If
however, you prefer a more balanced lifestyle, answer this question with
another: Whats the norm for your best people
here?[/i]

If the
hours still sound unrealistic for you, ask, Do you have any top people who
perform exceptionally for you, but who also have families and like to get home
in time to see them at night? Chances
are this company does, and this associates you with this other
top-performers-who-leave-not-later-than-six group.

Depending
on the answer, be honest about how you would fit into the picture. If all those extra hours make you
uncomfortable, say so, but phrase your response positively.

If the situation and work demands for a night shift then I definetly would prefer it . I think completing the work assigned to me is more important than spending the time with family on a week end . We have many week ends to enjoy with the family But completing the work is more important to the client as well as the company .
