Question about confirming availability for seasonal Target job

[MessyDonuts]

Hey, I just got hired for a seasonal Target job and put that I’m available all day on my application. The thing is, I currently work another part-time job that switches my schedule a lot, so I don’t know exactly what hours I’ll be able to work. My orientation is coming up — do they usually confirm your availability during orientation, or should I let HR know before I start? Also, if I need to adjust my availability, what’s the best way to handle it?

Adjusting your availability within 90 days of being hired, especially as a Seasonal hire, is usually a no-go. You were hired (partially) based on your availability. Changing it now means that you were hired under false pretenses. Expect that all availability changes will be denied, unless they have poor business acumen, just really like you, or your changes somehow increase your availability.
