QUESTION 28 OF 30

Besides vacation and holiday time, how many days were you absent from work last year?

DaVita wants to hire a responsible, dependable Patient Care Technician who shows up to work when scheduled. The interviewer asks this question to evaluate your work attendance in the past year. If you called off work too many times in the past year, they might hesitate to offer you the position unless your reasons were excusable.

Focus on giving the exact number of days you missed work and the reason. If the interviewer deems your absence from work an excused and unavoidable reason to miss work, it will likely not be an issue. If you have many unexcused absences, they may disqualify you as a viable candidate.

"Except for vacation time, I was not absent from work last year. I keep myself healthy, so I very rarely get sick. And I love what I do, so I never want to call off work to take a personal day or anything else."
