I have an interview to be seasonal help tomorrow. I'm older - own my own small (one person) business that's always slow during the holidays and applied for the position on a whim (saw the big sign on the front door) thinking I could basically earn what we spend on Chrismas presents. I still have younger kids, so I put my availability as after 7pm and all day on weekends so my husband could be home if I had to work at Target.
I found out my husband is going to be out of town from 12/2 - 12/7 (I could work the evening of 12/7). I thought he was done traveling for the year. The salary offered was $8.50/hr, but I pay my babysitters $10/hr cash. I would absolutely lose money by working any of those days. I'm not even sure many of my regular sitters (teens) would be able to work until midnight on a school night.
I plan on being up front with the person I interview with. How many days in this block do you think I could block off without completely jeopardizing getting hired?
