"Since this is my first job, I do not have prior work history to share with you. I have held responsibilities in a volunteer capacity in the past and also attended school full-time, and I took those commitments seriously. I rarely missed class, and if I did, it was once or twice a year because I was not feeling well. In my volunteer role, I understood that anytime I would miss an event or project, it created a heavy burden for others, so I did not call out from my responsibilities."

"Good attendance is critical for all staff at the pharmacy, and anytime even just one member of the team is out, it places a heavy burden on others. I rarely miss work, and the times I have called out were when I was feeling sick or had a fever. 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."
