QUESTION 19 OF 41

How many days were you absent from work last year?

Interviewers use this to gauge how you feel about attendance and understand what they can expect from you. A part of being a diligent employee is always being on time and present when expected. It's great to be ten minutes early rather than just showing up right on the dot. Be honest about your time missed and provide additional context where needed if you feel that number may have been higher than a hiring manager would like to hear.

"I had zero unexcused absences last year. I took 12 vacation days out of my 15 allotted days. I was sick just two, and those were accompanied by a note from my doctor. Once I was late due to a terrible snow storm, but I always try to be 10 minutes early for my shift."

"I was absent five days last year, excluding my vacation time. I had an illness that kept me in bed those days but as soon as I returned, I was committed to catching up on all of my assignments quickly and thanked my coworkers for covering what they could for me while I was out."
