The interviewer wants to know about your work attendance at your previous employer. If you were absent many Mondays or Fridays, it shows you like to extend your weekends and that you may be an unreliable employee. Be honest in your answer, as the interviewer can ask the same question of your previous employer when called for a reference. If you called off work many Mondays or Fridays, you might be passed over for the position unless you have a valid reason.

As with any interview question, you should avoid lying, as your answer can be cross-referenced with your previous employer. Be honest when responding and give the reason you were absent on many Mondays or Fridays if that is the case.

"I was absent two Fridays last year because my daughter had an appendectomy and a follow-up visit the following week. I notified my employer in advance, and she let me take personal time for both days."
