How to answer how many hours can you work? ›

I am available to work Monday through Friday, and I am very flexible about the start and end times on those days. I value weekend time with my family, but I'm willing to make additional hours work with my schedule occasionally. I'm more than willing to go above and beyond during the standard workweek.

“Yes, I have no problem with working overtime because in my opinion growth of the establishment is equal to the growth of an individual”. If they are comfortable with working on weekends, then saying “I am fine with working on weekends if the organisation wants me to do so” might be the right way to respond.

Unless you're absolutely sure about the company culture and expectations, the safest answer is to state that you work as much as necessary to get the job done. Your response will demonstrate that you're willing to work hard without committing to an exact number of hours per week.

Although you'd want to stand out in the interview, be honest with yourself and the interviewer when discussing your availability to work. Provide candid answers about your current commitments and hours of availability, so as not to sacrifice your work-life balance.

The Health Risks of Working Too Much

Researchers claim that there is a 60 percent increase in risk of cardiovascular diseases if you work more than 10 hours per day. That means that over 50 hours of work will cause heart issues. Working more than a 40-hour workweek consistently can lead to mental health issues.

One study found that working more than 61 hours a week increased an employee's risk of experiencing high systolic blood pressure and caused issues like fatigue and stress.

If you work full-time hours, then the typical workweek is around 40 hours per week. That's 8 hours per day for 5 days a week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so therefore the average number of working hours in a year is 2,080.

Most people who complain about not having enough time in the day have a prioritization problem. They don't rank tasks in order of importance or decide on what's most important in their lives, which explains why they always feel like there are not enough hours in a day.

You have enough of 24 hours in a day as long as you don't divide your time between trivial tasks. In the end, you're afraid of idleness. The fact is that only 1 or 2 of the tasks you do on a daily basis bear fruits. They are the ones you need to focus on.

Why do I feel like there's never enough time? ›

Feeling like you never have enough time likely means you're making too many things a priority. To help manage your time more efficiently and avoid the stress of having too much to do, you need to distinguish between what's important and what's not.

Script Example. “Hi [Manager's Name], I really enjoy working here and with the team we have. I'm eager to contribute more and was wondering if we could discuss my current role and any opportunities for additional hours.”

Best answer to Can You Work Well Under Pressure

“I most definitely can. In my current position, I can be faced with stressful situations that require me to work under pressure on a daily basis and have since learned to manage stress. Now it's just part of the job that I do well.”

But have you ever wondered how many hours a day you can actually work and remain productive? The ideal work hours per day for a human to be productive are 3-4 hours. For most people, the actual work hours are 2-3 hours, with 6 hours being the maximum productive hours in a day.
