Proper planning will get you far, but it's important to always have a Plan B. Think about some of the variables in your life that could affect your ability to arrive on time for work, and assure your interviewer that you are proactive and can handle the stress of unexpected situations.

"I was a stay-at-home mom for many years, which taught me to always have multiple contingency plans in place in case things didn't go according to plan -- and I had to learn to think on my feet, as well. Once I rejoined the retail workforce, I realized that the adaptability and forethought I had learned as a mom was definitely transferable to the retail world. Since I always have Plans B, C, and D running through my head, I don't become flustered when unexpected situations come up on my way to work -- I just move on to the next plan."
