Hi, Basya, I used to work in the Corporate Finance Dept. of a Fortune 500 firm. It was acceptable to say that because of religious practices, one had to leave on Fridays in time for Sabbath and could not work on Saturdays BUT that the work would be made up by working as late as necessary on other days. The firm hired the candidates with the best experience and other qualifications for the work.
You need to determine whether the employer would allow such flexibility or whether the job requires a certain schedule. This discussion should definitely take place early in your interview process, assuming that you and the employer are considering you for the position. Good luck!
