QUESTION 25 OF 35

How many days were you absent from work last year?

AutoZone is seeking reliable employees. They need staff who show up for their shift on time as often as possible. Employers understand that illness and emergencies happen, but the interviewer hopes that you have not been absent from work without a reasonable excuse. Give an honest answer because the hiring authority may follow up with your previous employer; if you are dishonest, they may find out.

"I've never missed work without an acceptable reason, and I always make sure to call in with plenty of advance notice when I know I'm going to be unavoidably late or unable to make it to work. Last year, I only missed two days of work when I had the stomach flu."

"I am very committed to my employer and am only absent in events of sickness or the odd family emergency. I took three sick days last year - one when I had a fever and the other two to take care of my son after surgery. I do my best always to be available and present when expected."
