In a retail environment, staff turnover is often high. How would you handle it if your coworker did not show up for their shift and you were asked to work overtime to cover for them?

"I am more than willing to cover a shift for a coworker if possible. I have had to cover for coworkers several times in the past, and I don't mind accepting overtime hours. The only time I was unable to cover a shift was when I had an exam at University that I could not miss. I consider myself to be a team player and always help when I can."

"If a coworker failed to show up for their shift, I would pick it up if possible. I always strive to be a team player and help my employer and coworkers when needed."

To be considered for the position, you want to assure the interviewer that you are flexible and willing to help the company when needed. If you have an example from a previous job, use that in your response.
