The interviewer wants to see if you take your profession seriously. They want to hire a dependable team player. If you call off work when the crew is working to meet a deadline, it could delay the project and cause problems with the client. Describe your work ethic and how important it is for you to meet deadlines. Tell the interviewer the number of times you have called off work and for what reasons. Show the interviewer that you are a team player who respects their crew, the company, and the client.

"I understand the importance of meeting deadlines and being a team player. I would not call off work unless I was injured or so ill that I could not perform my job duties. At my previous job, if we did not meet a deadline, the company would pay a penalty. I had the flu, but I showed up to work so that I did not leave my crew or the company in a bind. In the past four years, I have only called off work three times due to an injury or illness, and I had a doctor's note every time. In those situations, there was no deadline that we were working to meet."
