We are seeking a reliable person for our team. How many days were you absent or late for work this past month?

Due to the hours of a service station, some even operating 24/7, the interviewer wants assurance that you are present, dedicated, and on time. A part of being a diligent employee is to ensure that 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.

"I come from the old school way of thinking where if you aren't in the hospital, you show up to work. I can honestly say that the last sick day I took was about six years ago. I arrive 10 minutes early for work so that I am getting settled off the clock, be sure never to waste my employers' time."
