<p>So I’m filling out a job application for a restaurant, if you put you don’t work on weekdays will they not hire you because of that? and how do you answer the question" are you willing to work on a flexible schedule"?</p>
<p>Now the job scene’s very competitive. I’m not 18, not driving. So do I need to put that I work all weekdays and weekend and then negotiate with them later?</p>
<p>No, you put down exactly what you think you can do when you think you can do it. If you’re not a competitive applicant in a competitive atmosphere, then it’s probably better that you let someone more qualified/more flexible get the job. Otherwise, you’ll end up being let go when you find out you can’t fulfill your expected quota. Besides, what are you going to say when they ask you why you lied on your application?</p>
<p>Fridays and Saturdays are usually the busiest days for restaurants so if you can’t work weekdays you might still be able to land a post working the weekend shift. You are willing to work a flexible schedule when you are relatively free to work some of the most active shifts during any given day - that is, you don’t have many daily obligations (e.g., you usually work Mon-Thurs 5-11p, but you’re capable of working a Friday night from 7p-1a should the need arise).</p>
