Tell me about your attendance record.
United Airlines is one of the largest airlines in the world, with over 88,000 employees and a fleet of over 700 passenger planes traveling to over 340 destinations. With all the disruptions to air travel in recent years, they now more than ever need to ensure every member of the United team is willing to do their part in ensuring operations run as smoothly as possible. So they are looking for candidates who understand "punctuality and maintaining reliable attendance are essential functions of the job." Provide your interviewer with examples of when you supported your team, exemplifying your willingness to go the distance in times of need.
"I am very dedicated and would show my appreciation for the role by being a reliable team member of United Airlines. In my most recent position, I was often recognized for being flexible with my availability. I believe in being 10 minutes early for work. I come with solid references who will be happy to speak to you about my reliability and dedication on the job."
"Regarding attendance, I would say that I am always there. I am never missed, and no one ever looks for me or wonders where I am. If called upon, I appear, and that will never change."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
