Part-Time Internship Hours

You have been offered an eight-week internship at a design studio, normally five days a week. You need to keep your paid café job two days a week to cover your rent. Speak to the studio manager: explain your financial situation, suggest working three days a week instead, and ask whether extending the internship could make up the hours.

Hi, thank you for the offer, I'm excited about joining the studio. Before I accept, I wanted to be honest about one thing. I work two days a week at a café, and I need to keep that job to cover my rent. Would it be possible for me to do the internship three days a week instead of five? To make sure I still complete the full hours, I'd be happy to extend the placement to around thirteen weeks. I'd be committed on the days I'm here. Would that arrangement work for you?
