Whats a "Work Pattern"?

[Moh]

When your looking at Job Advertisements, they have Work Pattern.

i.e. "Days , Evenings , Weekends"

So does that mean you HAVE to work any of them, or could you just work Evenings and Weekends?

Because with college, its very hard to work Days

Assume this is the job centre website.
'Days' tends to mean week days 9am-5pm and 'evenings' week days 5pm-12am.

If you can only do weekends, just pick weekends.

hehe, yeah it is on the JobCentre website

I know what Days, Evenings and Weekends mean, I just don't know if you have the choice of them, or if you have to work them.

Does it differ for different employers?

[dirrty]

yeah, i think it means you'll work days, evenings and weekends. possibly depending on the shifts though. if you can't work days, then no point applying really unless theres solely evening/weekend jobs available.

When you go into the job thing it normally tells you the hours, although you could phone up and ask.
I'm sure it will differ between different employers so you are best ringing and asking I suppose

TBH. I'd just search for all (days/eve/weekends) and see what turns up. Then call the employers in question and see what the hours/days actually are.

If its say, a pub/bar then its most likely to be busier at weekends so they'd probably have more hours/shifts then than mid-week.

//edit - dinasaw knows the score.

The hours are only 16-24 hours p/w.

Which wouldn't be hard to split up in weekends and evenings

Yeah, I'll have to give them a ring. Have till June to apply
