"Last year, I only called out of work twice, but only when I was very ill and had a doctor's excuse. If I am not feeling well, I notify my manager with as much advanced notice as possible so that my shift can be covered. I like to work and need to earn a living, so rest assured that I will be at work on time and when expected."

"Good attendance is critical for all staff at the bank, and leadership is no exception. I rarely miss work, and the times I have called out were when I was feeling sick or had a fever. I pride myself on having good attendance and setting the example for my staff."

Wells Fargo relies on employees to be at work so that customers can be served. The interviewer wants to know that you are a reliable person, and they will not have to find coverage for your shifts constantly. Discuss your commitment to the company and speak to times you've had to call out of work in the past. If you don't have work experience, think about times you've missed class, internships, or other volunteer responsibilities. No matter the situation, demonstrate that these situations are rare, and you handle them professionally.
