Talk to me about your level of reliability. How often are you late for work, or unexpectedly absent?

"I was raised under the adage, 'If you aren't 10 minutes early, you are late.' I show up to work when I am scheduled and rarely take a sick day. When you call my current place of employment for a reference, you will hear from them that I have taken just two sick days in three years. I am very dedicated to my employer and my fellow teammates."

"I have taken one sick day this year, which came with a physicians' note. Even then, I did what I could from home on my laptop to prevent my work from falling onto my coworkers. I have reliable transportation and aim to be at least 10 minutes early for every shift."
