Application form question (low content)

    I'm applying for a crappy part time job and one of the questions on the online application form is:

    "Are you available to work evenings and weekends?"

    Now, while I am technically available, I certainly don't want to get screwed into working every Friday and Saturday night. But of course I don't want to rule myself out of the position. I suppose what I'd like to write is "yes, within reason" but I'm struggling to word it properly.

    Suggestions anybody?

    Honestly,

    When that question is asked it usually means that for the majority of the time you WILL be working evenings and weekends. It's basically, the longer you've worked there the less evenings and weekends you'll have to do because the new staff do the unfavourable shifts.

    Part-Time jobs are mainly customer service/sales jobs and their busiest times are evenings and weekends so in reality you'll have to be prepared to work all and any evenings and weekends when you are going for a part-time job.
