Question 1 of 35

How do you handle situations that could cause you to be tardy or absent?

Consistently showing up early reflects you are proactive and reliable. Arriving at the last minute or clocking in right on time reflects that you may be disorganized, exhibit poor planning, and put in the bare minimum. Even if you are consistently on time, claiming so is not the point of the question. The interviewer is trying to assess your experience with time management and how much of a team collaborator you are. Someone conscientious of the greater needs of the team will call and inform their supervisors of the potential of running behind, even if there is a chance they'll make it on time.

Demonstrate that you hold yourself accountable for your actions and think of the welfare of the team. Show Danone that you are proactive when confronting these types of situations.

      1st Answer Example

      "I always arrive to work at least 15 minutes before I am expected to be there to give me extra time in case something happens. I also make sure I have the numbers of my co-workers and boss so that I can call to let them know if I'm stuck or might be running late."

      2nd Answer Example

      "I was raised to be early, at all times. I am well-scheduled and understand the negative impact that my tardiness can cause. If I am to be late, I am sure to call my manager or whoever will be affected by the situation. I will also put in extra hours when necessary."
