It really matters.

The way you write on here portrays you as someone who is not very educated, or at least someone who doesn't try very hard.

Neither one is a positive to someone who is hiring.

If you don't want to work weekends, just say you're not available on weekends. Period.

I actually do try hard and make sure my resume is grammer free and write more clear and professional while job searching but theres good news I did apply for a Admin assistant at a community college
They did like my enthusiaum for work and they were impressed i hope i get the job thou even thou the pay is going to suck.

But I write too quick here which is why my grammer isnt correct

Not just your grammer (sic) but also word usage. Thou(gh) you may not know differently.

I've refrained from participating in this train wreck but I'll offer my opinion on your "problem". You have only had entry level jobs which typically have random hours and, as low man on the totem pole, you'll get them.

If your boyfriend is so "wonderful" he'll accept and adapt to your schedule if he has to and you'll both make time to see each other. If he doesn't then he's not so "wonderful".

Say "Hire someone else".

Problem solved.

good one

Ok, I'm sure that was unintentional (both the misspelling of "grammar" and the idea that you make sure your writing is "free from grammar"), but it did make me laugh and sort of proved the point made by the PP.
