Should I ask this question in my next interview?
Hi All,
I'm a Project Manager working with a UK based LSP. While I was inerviewing for this position, 2 years back, I was told that I might have to work occasionally, out of office hours if the project requires.
Being a Project Manager, I understand that my day never ends at 5 PM or the moment I finish working for 8 hours, it could and can be extended any time there's a issue or improvement needed in the project .
It has been 2.6 yrs here in the role, there have been multiple instance where I have had to work out of my office hours, everyday including weekends - this I know is not healthy and thus, while I'm currently interviewing with other companies for multiple reasons, want to know your opinion if I should ask the following question to my next interviewer or not?
How many hours a week do you someone putting in this role? I know, we usually have a 40 hour week, but, being a Project Manager, there could be need of working extra, how much will an ideal candidate work for in this role?
I would love to hear your opinion and view points on this! If you think I should ask this question another way, please do suggest!

Growing my resume!
Do you consider courses/professional certificates on Coursera to be valuable and/or worth the time? I have degrees, but there are some certifications that I feel would bulk my resume if Coursera is respected.

Is anyone else experiencing significant challenges in their job search these days?
As a creative director who left their job earlier this year, I've been receiving rejection emails left and right from automated systems. Am I the only one facing this, or is there something unique happening in the job market?

Just felt like the community could use a sprinkle of encouragement today.
I may not know your exact situation but I wanted YOU to know that I SEE you and I'm PROUD of you. I know it's a weird time (a lot is going on) but you've got this. Breathe through it and DON'T GIVE UP.
You are capable.
You are supported.
You are valued.
You are loved.
You are needed.
You are powerful.
You are light.
You are amazing.
I hope everyone has a good rest of the week.

to add to the 4 months notice denied PTO
I am loyal and been with the company for more than 25 years ; good attendance and employee of the month and season too.
I think he should cut me a slack and approve it. ( still on the works but made me really upset )
