I'm filling out my first job application and could use a little help.

It asks about hours available to work. I can basically work any hours. I don't know what the hours there will be because I think employees get there around 7am (it opens at 8am) and they may stay as late as 9pm depending on what happens that day (they close at 6 pm). I can't imagine that employees would work from 7 am until 9pm. Ideally, I'd like to work morning hours (7am til 3 pm or so). So what am I supposed to write? Should I simply put "any?"

Then there's a section for education. It's a little confusing the way they did it. Below is a screenshot of what I intend to put (well, some of it's fake so I can remain anonymous here). Is the way I listed things there ok?
I'm going to assume that "major" and "degree" don't apply to high school.
Since I haven't gone to college, can I leave that part blank or should I put n/a?

Additionally, when I attended high school, it was actually a junior-senior high school. So it had grades 6-12. So I actually went there for seven years. Now it's just a high school. So should I just list that I went there for four years, so that the employer doesn't get confused (even though they went there too)?

I think you could put what you said - "I can work any hours" - sounds fine to me.
For school, maybe just put "Completed Grade 12."

Good luck! :)

p.s. You might want to look at the url under my signature - it's free.
