Being an Adidas employee means being reliable and consistent. Make sure the interviewer knows that you respect your coworkers and managers enough to always show up for your assigned shifts. You can be honest about a time you had to miss a shift; be sure to mention that you followed all of the protocols for calling off of work.

"I've never skipped work without a good reason, and I always make sure to call in with plenty of advance notice so that my managers and coworkers are prepared to cover the shift. I've never had an excused absence from work."

"I am very committed to my employer and am only absent in events of sickness or the odd family emergency. I do my best always to be available and present when expected. When I got the flu last year and had to be absent from work for three days, I made sure to inform my managers as soon as I could and bring a doctor's note with me when I returned to work."

I am only absent from work for a serious reason such as sickness or family emergency. In the previous part-time job that I worked for three years, I only called in sick one time, and I also found a co-worker of mine to ask to cover my shift, as I did not want my absence to be a burden to anyone.

Your answer shows that you are very reliable and responsible. Nice job! I have reworded it just a touch.
"I am rarely absent for work with the only reasons being a serious illness or family emergency. In my previous role, I called in sick just once in three years. In that instance, I found a co-worker to cover my shift, as I did not want to burden anyone."
