Interview Question: Are you willing to work overtime? | Best sample Answer

While interviewing you for a job, hiring manager managers will often inquire about your willingness to work overtime.
Your attitude matters more than anything else to answer this question.
However, if you are someone who is not willing to work overtime at all, you should briefly explain the reason instead of bluntly saying "No".

[@shardajhap299]

Nonsense response why would I not ask for an extra pay?

[@kubssharma]

Kuch bhi bewkoofe wali advice dete hai yeh log… paisa is king

[@kavitasinha8887]

Matlab yah h ki naukri aur gulami mein fark nahi h . Bas ha mein ha milate roho

[@erenyayger3840]

Lol. You can I guess 😅

[@vishvjeetpatel7946]

Right

[@lijisusanraju5142]

I used to work from 8.30am to 9 in the evening and was underpaid. No overtime was given. I would never signup for such a job again... 😵‍💫 Before resigning I talked to the management constantly as a result of which more people got hired and work was balanced. Not all overtime jobs will prove your dedication!!

[@calmvibes723]

Qq1,1

[@thanshikaulagam9357]

How much do u get paid

[@niharikapasricha5346]

.....she forgot to add" as long I get compensated for additional responsibility "

[@karthikrao2843]

"I want a job with good work life balance as I need time for family, chores and recreation. But I'm willing to work extended hours if there is a necessity" - This makes the interviewer realise that your time is invaluable. And they will actually appreciate the extra hours you put in.

[@rockysikander.8177]

Sad that this is the reality of Indian companies. Where you can't be honest and tell if you are not comfortable with over time just to get a job.

[@vminhope3040]

Say yes and once you get the job, say actually no thanks 😂

[@asht7899]

Exactly 💯

[@kodeth5200]

😂😂 that's big brain lol

[@swathysunil5328]

😂😂😂😂

[@ashokgattamaneni7338]

Yeh i m passionate to work in working hours not in extended hours

[@rtcagooayt9218]

In my job they want me to work overtime 😂 hell nah

[@goodminion9320]

Why would I lie when I’m Not okay with extended working hours?

[@shashankshashi7956]

Your videos are in such a way that , it shows and tells people to become corporate slaves and become exploited

[@erenyayger3840]

Lol

[@user-ie3qq2yp5v]

exactly i felt

[@varunvalecha]

I would rather higher one giving first two ans, don't complex a simple answer, it's good not to be hired then letting yourself at a wrong place.

[@tejnathbeegun6861]

It's completely lie..

[@tejnathbeegun6861]

Stupid

[@y3rdop478]

Interview is the conversation between two liars

[@_alittlebraver_]

As an HR professional, I would strongly recommend not to blindly say yes to such questions. It is okay to be curious about these things, it's human nature. Saying yes without question may sound like you are agreeing just to get the job. Also, when you simply say yes, and decline to adhere to it later, the company can use it against you as an ammunition during tough times.

[@Samihahossain-uk9yv]

Can i just be honest and answer no? If there is an emargency I'll be there definitely but not everytime

[@erenyayger3840]

This sounds like a more positive response.

[@kavitasinha8887]

So when you say you are ok with it then its there where your harrasment and exploitation by your employer begins

[@gopivendra6832]

I plan my work and finish in right time, however as per requirements, I m flexible to work with limited over time and few days a month. I would be glad to know well before if such requirements are proposed by manager so that I plan a head to reach my work. Madam, do you need Any more clarification from my end

[@Glblub]

Your answer holds true when one is being hired for a new company Once a candidate is in the company the answer obviously changes to pay and it should. Manipulation is the key which gets you through I guess then 😊

[@er.surajkumar1994]

Apne hi Questions ka Answer kbhi kbhi dena muskil ho jata h...😃😃

[@SHIWANGIMAURYA-qr3wd]

I understand that being asked to work for n extended number hours comes with the good reasons in the first place.So I am okay with that!!

[@simplyprasanth]

Would you over pay me if I require it some times. Wish we could ask this in return 😂

[@HiggsBoson1995]

In USA, that would be apt response. In India, you're always expected to work late without pay.

[@vivbrowne3389]

There's always a "good reason" for it according to an employer, so agreeing to it would be like saying Yes, I'm willing to be a pushover as often as needed (which is probably 4 days out of 5 in a week, if not all 5). My reply would be, I take complete ownership for my work, so Yes, I definitely would when I need to, taking account of my personal priorities and what my deadline is like.

[@Yhudienaturals]

See a job as a date and not A master servant. When you have what they need your opinion matters so feel free to ask the interviewer questions too

[@vedikasonali9641]

Cut the crap..dont entertain such question... Be upfront.

[@Yuga.Gaming]

So basically say yes in a fancy way. Noted.

[@niveditaghosh9190]

Diksha ma'am - Thank you for such informative video, your video is very helpful to crack any job interview, Could you make a video on the question - why do you want to relocate from one city to another?

[@user-ie3qq2yp5v]

If a company asks you this that means surely they are lacking resources to work and will make you do overtime surely. I used to work for one of the big4 and the work sucks never make this mistake of accepting anything I was a fresh graduate and they had asked I said I am ok working if something comes up but let me tell you these firms seriously i had worked for more than 18-20 hours a day too that too for a prolonged period of time. Now i regularly suffer back pain and neck pain too I visit chiropractor for some relief but i guess now what i am spending on that and my health i tossed isnt even worth 😢

[@ameyarajpr9675]

To get a job say yes to every uncomfortable and stupid question in a very pleasant or comfortable way. How corporates works and why promoting slavery without decent pay

[@apoemadaywithkk4660]

This isn't good advice. When the employer will actually give extra work, one is bound to do it because they said so during the interview. Nonsense! It's better to ditch such employers.

[@mangeshds]

I think being honest is more important rather than laying...

[@gonsalvesaaron1383]

Hi Didi Thank you so much for all your support I have checked all your videos regarding decathlon it helped me a lot. I am having my DRD round tomorrow please wish me luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Wanted to even ask advice any dos and don’ts so this can help me avoid mistakes 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Talk.Unlock]

Your video lessons are super awesome for interview preparation 🎉🎉

[@user-nv6lt8pc8e]

Ideas are good but the answers feel like recitation for me. Just like I’m byhearting something and reciting to the interviewer. Be confident and casual. Don’t go for lengthy answers. Keep it crisp and clear.

[@sudhangshudas3099]

If this has to work, it will only work for freshers who are looking for an opportunity to start their careers. For experienced folks, it is hell important to ask for additional allowance for overtime. No one is a machine.

[@gaminghub0615]

Ok then you come here daily and work 4 extra hours each day for the same pay...its good to have passionate employees like you 😊 (helps me get richer)

[@RealRahhul]

Ye khud ek robot hai

[@Dibakar_Rava]

I choose better to say, "If i get paid for my overtime, i will do it". Boss ki chatne nhi ja raha, jo har baat pe ha kahunga.

[@Pikachu91876]

Sorry but no

[@NAMalapatiRaviKumarReddy]

My answer would be damn no

[@vipinnambiar373]

If you say yes, you will end up in office forever 😅

[@nabeelprince73]

Say no thats it

[@GAMERYT-ki1eb]

Say yes are no 😂😂

[@nerdytechs514]

I mean her answer wasn't wrong but would have mentioned in the end if they could share more about how overtime compensation is typically handled?"

[@abbysworld05]

I’m just gonna say yea

[@mohsinmohammad4166]

why we have this mindset only…OT was mainly during Industrial Revolution to manufacture more. But it not relevant in corporate life, hello people up in the ladder, please don’t🙏 How come OT signifies being passionate or committed, it’s only ones majboori / helplessness

[@gopikab6576]

Absolutely a wrong answer.We should always set the right expectations

[@DSECSourabh]

Could you pls do a general video on how to answer in a visa interview

[@manishjesani4966]

Do you want to be a corporate majdor. Ans: Yes, Jahapna tusi great ho tofa kabul karo 😂😂😂

[@budgetNbeyond]

This answer isn't expected, shows inefficiency.

[@harshalnegi8727]

So you are basically telling me to become a corporate slave

[@amisha__1155]

Nobody cares for a perfect answer. Just to be honest in correct english will be enough. One should not work overtime and this will lead to toxic work culture. Everyone is committed to their work but just to show you polished yourself in the interview will be problematic later.

[@gf8qu]

"Yes, If I get paid Yes"

[@webdesignersandip7469]

For all employees sake...... Please ask for extra pay for overtime!!!!!!

[@7wisdomeducation378]

'I am okay with overtime' signifies committed and passionate... Weird. This HR needs to understand foreign culture

[@priyankadongre64]

If candidate answers what you said he/she would be actually asked to work. We don't need late sittings in 2024 pls grow up and show something positive

[@sajinsatheeshkumar3767]

Make sure about u...too...be focus on .....k...

[@frankstern5270]

If you are skilled at what you do, you don't work free for a minute extra. Whatever is being conveyed in the video is moronic.

[@n1xdominator1]

❤❤❤

[@sahilparekh7036]

Don't listen to her. She seems young. For someone who has been working for over a decade, take my advice, don't work overtime even for extra pay. Your personal life is more important than making rick corporate richer.

[@latheefl2806]

Or simply say Yes

[@ashishofficial107]

New friend 👌👌👌👌👌 9

[@ashishthapliyal992]

Such people feels 'moy' 'moy' that time when they get apriasel and company says this the market standard what we are paying you😂😂

[@karteekkatta6579]

What shit is it?

[@HelenaSwiftJennyFernandes]

Why Cant i ask for extra pay as they would be signing me for fixed hours and making me work off after fixed assigned hours??

[@abhiramcs6581]

If its your first entry level job....just accept it😁

[@TriggerBreaker]

useless advice

[@poojar05]

Dont say ‘read the caption’. U talk about reading the DESCRIPTION, not Caption!

[@Srinivasmurthyy]

It's her Instagram post There it was caption

[@subahpahuja7382]

That’s b******. Why the idea of slavery is recognised and rewarded so Much. I don’t understand.

[@radhikak1569]

If I tell ok I'll work for more time means After that always my manager will ask to stay in office the whole day and will say that you told in the interview that you'll work a lot then what shall I reply

[@ec2cuk508]

Good reason..my foot

[@NehaGupta-rq6rk]

Can you please say what should I answer when the interviewer asks me why you want to join BPO if you have completed your degree in Biotechnology? Please answer mam

[@moviemasala8311]

Mein jhujeka nahi ,, So what we will try on next place

[@vinubalank]

You should stop making reels

[@govardhanreddy8233]

That’s a hint of toxic environment. They’re simply telling you that you will have to work like a dog. Any good companies like Amazon or google won’t ask because they know that your usual job will only take time 😅😂😂. Work life balance is a joke at corporate companies

[@Liam-qx9bn]

Can't we just say Sure?

[@xandr5]

Orally gratifying corporations and workplaces like this is a bad idea

[@ckdhruw017]

Par hamrs yahna overtime ke paise milte hai

[@somalidas7288]

How can I say if my answer is no?

[@RehanAnsari-bg9ut]

Ek mazduur dusre mazduur ko sikhate hue ki kaise aur kam krreee😂😂

[@abdurrehman5431]

First was first reply Why daa f people would do overtime for free ?

[@ajaytiwari-pk6fz]

But the out of country paid for ovrtime

[@dazzalinggirly]

Just say on their face that if it is paid then i will

[@kishoregaremella628]

Overtime is that a thing in India 😂…

[@biswabhusansahoo878]

Don't you get my point God. No job or going to USA.

[@kiranm4762]

What nonsense response! Fir Narayan Murthy jaise log bolte hain 70 hours per week kaam karo.. 40 hours ki salary main

[@likhithramesh9065]

Don't accept such toxic work environment

[@KusumK-dt4rq]

Itni english laungi kaha se

[@lifeisbeautiful882]

Good advice for those who love to be corporate slaves...

[@raghu5405]

Why such theory all time. We are not at school buddy..

[@RahulBhatt12]

Seedhe ha bol do,jb selection ho Jaye tb mana karna

[@Nameisnecessary]

Her response sounds scripted 😂

[@vilen7856]

Wtf sirf yes boldo 😅😂

[@mandaudaykiran2106]

Not fair to ask like dame questions

[@venkat4167]

It shows desperation the way you are saying 😂

[@kodeth5200]

So basically be their cheerleader? Bruh ask for pay! If the pay is there. Sure. If they dont hire you look elsewhere. Dont be a slave. Dont be another robotic template.

[@aishwaryac8148]

Typical bureaucratic bossy attitude. Its employment and not slavery. Employment comes with qualification not out of.mercy of the employer. Work life balance is extremely important.

[@Nameisnecessary]

her response sounds scripted

[@malmsia]

This question should be removed. It infringes on personal time, Including work life balance. It reflects poorly on the organisation

[@sm-dj2rx]

Wrong message, dont agree for extra time. She is just paraphrasing bunch of gibberish answers from standard corporate training manual, dont do this

[@kevinmuthu2063]

No one replies that way. It sounds bull shit.
