Had a hospitality interview where they focused more on availability than experience. I can do nights but not every weekend. Is limited weekend availability a deal breaker everywhere now, or does it depend on the manager?😅

It depends on the manager I’m sure. But I think in hospitality, having weekend availability is crucial seeing that this is the busiest time for businesses in hospitality.

Yeah I think so too!! Weekends is quite important!

I totally get that! People are always quitting so I can never have a weekend off!

That sucks!! You should be entitled to one!

I agree, and I’ve seen that for years, too. Most places tend to prioritize availability over experience, so limited weekend availability can be a challenge. That said, some managers may be flexible depending on how the location is set up.

Yeah I guess it’s just unfortunate!

Curiosity is how most exits start. The moment you feel guilty for being curious is usually the moment it’s time to explore more seriously.

Yeah you’re probably right there!

Availability depends entirely on the manager and staffing level. Some will work with you, some won’t budge. Asking upfront is the right move even if it costs you the role.

That’s true, I guess it just depends!

It’s not a deal breaker, but I’m sure they prefer someone with open availability. When I’m hiring, I tend to take whoever I can find because we’re almost always short-staffed.

I guess that’s not always a good thing though, is your staff turnaround high?

Has anyone successfully made the career move from an HR specialization to an HRBP role? If so, how? I have been working for 7 years in a very niche HR specialization and while I wear many hats on the HR team, I feel like this is hard to express to recruiters or even get an interview for an HRBP role. My niche area has really burnt me out, as it’s very political and I want to expand my horizons. I am already working on completing my GPHR certification. Any other tips?
