Being a member of a team means being reliable and consistent, and working at PetSmart is no exception. Make sure the interviewer knows that you respect your coworkers and managers enough to always show up for your assigned shifts. Of course, emergencies and illnesses happen from time to time; you can be honest about a time you had to miss a shift. Be sure to mention that you followed all of the protocols for calling off of work.

"I know that my coworkers and managers rely on every team-member to show up for their shifts on time and prepared to work -- if one person doesn't show up for their shift, that means everyone else has to work harder! I've never skipped work without a good reason, and I always make sure to call in with plenty of advance notice so that my managers and coworkers are prepared to cover the shift. I've never had an unexcused absence from work."
