“Are you okay working overtime or on weekends?” (Common for men)
They want to assess dedication and flexibility.
❌ “I don’t want to work overtime.”
❌ “I can’t work weekends.”
This shows rigidity.
“If required, I’m open to putting in extra effort. But I believe in working efficiently so deadlines are usually met within normal timelines.”
Shows flexibility AND commitment to productivity — not blind acceptance of overtime.
“If required, I’m open to contributing extra effort during critical phases. At the same time, I believe in working efficiently and planning well so tasks are usually completed within regular work hours. My goal is always to deliver quality results while maintaining productivity.”
