      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      A part of being a diligent employee is ensuring you are always on time and present when expected. It's great to even be 10 minutes early rather than just showing up right on the dot. Talk to the interviewer about your attendance in the past year so they can determine if your work attendance is up to par for their organization. If you were absent from work, explain why and how your absence was for scheduled vacation, personal time off, or excused for another reason.

      Answer Example

      "I had zero unexcused absences last year. I took 12 vacation days out of my 15 allotted days. In addition, I was sick for two, and a note from my doctor accompanied those. Once, I was late due to a terrible snowstorm, but I notified my employer and was not the only one late that day. Generally, I always try to be at least 10 to 15 minutes early for my shift."

      Experienced Example

      "I think I missed ten days, counting vacation time. Of those, five were for my vacation. For three days, I was excused under a doctor's note. The other two absences were pre-approved family days."

      Marcie's Feedback

      Wow! The interviewer will likely be impressed by your dedication. Don't forget to emphasize that you were committed to doing a great job and being dependable. But also mention that you recognize the importance of a good work-life balance and do pre-schedule occasional vacation days throughout the year so you can temporarily get away and recharge. Good job!
