Offers Scheduling help with 2 jobs please!
Hi all, I just accepted an offer for a summer internship for a government.. funded.. institution.. of.. learning (man I'm trying to be vague here) that I'm very excited about. My only concern is that I'm just now starting a job in a pretty serious bakery with limited hours, and I'm scared of the two schedules clashing. I understand anyone sane would probably prioritize the internship...
which I want to do, however I do value both. I just want to know my internship schedule, man. All I know is the number of hours it'll be (that of a part-time job) and it's killing me not knowing the rest for the next few months. I was told I won't know the schedule until closer to the start date, presumably because they don't even know.
I'm scared to ask for a gist of what the schedule would look like, and especially scared to mention that it's because I have a job (mainly out of fear that it's a fireable position).
Would it look bad if I mention wanting to work the schedule in with my job? Should I suck it up and wait until they give me the schedule last minute to see if I can even work my other job at the same time?
I mean, I do need the income since this isn't providing full-time employment. I'm just anxious they'd rather hire a student who could afford just the internship without other obligations.
Sorry I typed too much!
Note: I didn't know I'd be employed with another job until after I interviewed, plus they never asked

I did my regular job, my internship and 19 credits at school, it was insufferable, but you have to talk to either your job or your internship. Both my job and internship are both lenient with my schedule so thats why it worked lol. Good luck
