What would your current or former employer employer say about your attendance and punctuality?
Employers are looking for reliability and commitment. Provide an example of your excellent attendance record and punctuality in a previous position, in a professional or volunteer capacity. Answer by providing an example where, e.g., you were rewarded for your behavior or congratulated by a superior, or where it could have been difficult for someone to remain reliable, yet you were.
"I am extremely reliable and always on time. For instance, when working as a/an (X position title) for (X company), I had to work very long hours, sometimes working overtime until 9pm, and start my day at 6am. This position was also located 30 minutes from my house and as such I had to ensure to get a good night sleep and prepare for the next day the night before. I am proud to say that I was always on time."

I am very reliable and always on time. For example, when I worked as a security guard, I remember doing a dock watch on a Saturday at 6 a.m. and didn't leave till Sunday at 1 in the morning. I remember I got 4 hours of sleep and did the next shift at 6 a.m. the following Sunday.

My current and or past employers would say that I was always punctual. I would always make sure I made it to work ten to fifteen minutes prior to my shift to ensure I was there on time or if I was needed earlier. One of the motos I learned through my boss was "if you aren't early you're late."
