For a number of reasons, as some of you may know, I have been seeking another position. I recently applied for a public library opening in an area where my husband and I, for health and other considerations, would like to live (Florida). However, the job description calls for working on some evenings and weekends.
I know employers are not allowed to ask if a person cannot work on certain days for religious reasons, but they can ask if the work schedule is acceptable to the applicant. Does anyone know how I can answer this question without ruining my chances of obtaining the position or having difficulties should I be hired for it or a similar one? (I know that an interviewee should never say that there are days on which they cannot or will not work!) I am not the type to make demands or raise an issue, I simply want to do what I love. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. Basya Karp, Librarian Shulamith High School and Shulamith School For Girls Brooklyn, New York basya...@hotmail.com
