How many days were you absent from work last year?

"I had zero unexcused absences last year. In total, I took 12 vacation days out of my 15 allotted days. I was sick just two, and a note from my Doctor accompanied those. Once, I was a little late due to a terrible snowstorm, and I called my manager when I knew I'd be late. I always try to be 10 minutes early for my shift."

Part of being a diligent employee is being on time and present when expected. It's great to be 10 minutes early rather than just showing up right on the dot. Talk to the interviewer about your attendance over the past year and be honest, as employment verification and reference checks will likely be a part of the hiring process at Cigna Corp.
