How often do you call off work?
Christian Dior relies on employees to be at work so that the work gets done and customers are served. The interviewer wants to know that you are a reliable person and they will not have to constantly find coverage for your shifts. Discuss your commitment to the company and speak to times you've had to call out of work in the past. If you don't have work experience, think about times you've missed class, internships, or other volunteer responsibilities. No matter the situation, demonstrate that you handle these types of situations with professionalism.
"Since this is my first job, I do not have prior work history to share with you. I have held responsibilities in a volunteer capacity in the past and also attended school full-time, and I took those commitments seriously. I rarely missed class, and if I did, it was once or twice a year because I was not feeling well. In my volunteer role, I understood that anytime I would miss an event or project, it created a heavy burden for others, so I did not call out from my responsibilities."
"I have called off from work twice in the last year, and both times I didn't feel well and provided a doctor's note. If I am not feeling well, I notify my manager with as much advanced notice as possible so that my shift can be covered. I like to work, and need to earn a living, so rest assured that I will be at work on time and when expected."
