I just realized how hard it is to look for a job. I had a job interview yesterday.
It is really hard to look for a job nowadays. How did the interview go?

I think the interview went well. They said they would inform me of their decision by tomorrow.
Wow. That is quite fast. I guess they need to hire people as soon as possible.

I think the manager would consider your concern about work schedule especially if you are really fit for the position. Anyway, best of luck!
