Humana wants to hire a responsible, dependable Intern 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 several times in the past year, they might hesitate to offer you the position unless your reasons were excusable.

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

"I was absent from work one day last year. The day I missed was due to a minor vehicle accident. I was rear-ended on my way to work and went to the emergency room for evaluation. I called my supervisor from the accident scene, and he said to take off as much time as needed. I was fine and able to return to work the next day."
