Question 1 of 35

How do you handle situations that could cause you to be late or miss work?

Your interviewer wants to see how proactive you are when unexpected situations arise. How you handle situations that could cause you to be late or miss work is different than how well you manage your time and how proactive you are with arriving at work early or on time. Calling ahead to inform your employer you've run into an issue that could result in arriving to work late will indicate a sense of teamwork and forward thinking. Talk about your time management skills, your track record for being early, and your big-picture lens and sense of teamwork to give them a heads up while holding yourself accountable.
