Scheduling:
Full-time roles require full availability. Part-time roles require a minimum of 2 to 3 days of full availability per week. Availability varies for seasonal roles depending on the season. While many areas will work with availability, the options of those applicants who prefer weekends off or exclusive early shift hours may be limited.

Transportation:
Reliable transportation to and from work is necessary. Ample transportation time should always be allotted, especially when utilizing public transportation. Due to extended operational hours during peak times, please make sure that public transportation, if required, is an option. Carpooling within your location is also an option that most areas are receptive to.
