I think it’s reasonable to ask what the typical hours are where you’re expected to be available.

Remember, it’s not just them interviewing you. It’s you interviewing them as well. It’s ultimately your decision if you accept the offer should you get one so you need to know details around your dealbreakers without being obvious or rigid in your questions.

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience.

I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅
