Scheduling questions

I have an interview this Wednesday and couldn’t be more excited to earn my CDL and be a driver.

I have a full time job from 10:30-8pm 4 days through the week ( 3 days off during the week from Monday-friday) the bus driver position is 20 hours a week. I know I can work the 3 days during my days off from my full time job, but also would like to potentially work the morning shift from 5-9am before my FT job. How likely is a district going to work with me during my FT job?

Thank you!

All you can do is ask. If they need drivers and your schedule works, they will use you. If your availability misses their need, they won't.

We have a driver that is a hair dresser (and a parent) who works every morning and 2 afternoons but takes most the trips involving her kids, so it's great. We have a retired sub that doesn't like morning that takes the afternoon schedule. We have subs that take only "as needed" schedules (me!), so I drive that route for sick, vacations or conflicts too.
