Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview for a night shift, but I cant do it since college starts on the 20th. What should I do?

I have a job interview with Wal-Mart for a night shift from 10pm to 7am. The thing is that college is starting on the 20th for me and I have classes from 8am-11am. That late shift is going to surely kill me.

Should I call in and ask them if they're offering an earlier position? Should I just cancel the job interview? What should I do? :(

Job Interview Tip Number 1 is Preparation

Recommended Answer:
I would definitely call them and explain that you will be going to classes and that you have just found that the hours will clash with the position you are going to interview for. Offer them your apology that you will not be available for that night shift (it's probably a hard one to find reliable people for) and then ask if they have any other shifts open for that kind of work. Whatever happens, be polite and let them know that if they have something coming up that would work with your college hours, you'd appreciate a call and another chance to interview with them.

Your education is important, and they will appreciate your advance notice of not being able to work the night shift.

Good luck!

Eliminate Job Interview Anxiety

• Don't hesitate to call them and try to find solution together with their HR representative. You should never miss a job opportunity! But don't forget about education!


• Are your classes everyday? Is it full time or part time? Walmart is usually willing to work with your hours since they rarely hire full time.
