At Coles Supermarkets, promptness is important -- your team members are relying on you to be on time and ready to start work. It's always better to be a few minutes early for a shift. Make sure that your interviewer knows that you always plan for traffic, bad weather, and any other situation that could make you late for your shift. Your interviewer wants to know that you are proactive and that you can handle the stress of unexpected situations that affect arriving to work on time.

"I stay calm and composed when issues arise. My dad got rear ended one time when driving me to school. I texted my friend to see if she could tell my teacher what happened. I explained the situation to my teacher when I got to class. If this happened on my way to work, I would call ahead of time to ensure someone could cover my shift."
