Como dizer "Dá tempo...? Ainda há tempo...?" em inglês
Pessoal eu precisei perguntar para um recrutador se ainda ''dava tempo de pegar um trabalho'' e acabei falando "Is it in time to get the job". Essa forma de dizer é errada?
Eu vi que tem outras formas de dizer também, no caso "there is still time to get the job".
Qual é melhor de usar?
Obrigado.

Your first sentence didn´t have a natural ring to me, though, obviously others may not agree with me.
A more natural way could be "May I apply for the position/job now or am I too late?" /Is it too late to apply to the job opening?, or others in which you would use the words "deadline" etc. Those, I will leave to other members of the Forum. Teamwork!

To my thinking (others may think otherwise - or know better!), "there is still time to do something..." sometimes (or most of the times) may suggest a more "elastic" time span, that is, to things that takes a little more time.
Other times it may be a more pressing statement, then it really could be both (that is, the meanings "dá tempo" and "ainda há tempo" could intersect.)
=========================
See these examples, please:

Not so pressing:
-There's still time to watch him grow. (Ainda temos tempo para o ver crescer.)
-We haven't come up with anything yet, but there's still time. (Não nos ocorreu nada ainda, mas ainda temos tempo.)
-And if you haven't had a chance to vote yet, don't worry, there's still time. (Se ainda não votaram, não se preocupem, ainda dá tempo.)
-You're dying, but there's still time to hurt you. (Você está a morrer, mas ainda há tempo para o magoar.)
Could be pressing, urgent. But then it could also be said in a way that wasn´t so insistent/compelling.
-Let's get out of here while there's still time. (Vamos sair daqui, enquanto ainda há tempo.)
