2) have you ever called in sick during a trip?
3) have you ever called in sick on a holiday?
My friend claims he said yes to calling in sick on a holiday and he believes that's why he didn't get the job. He wasn't allowed to explain why either. Has anyone had the same experience or been able to explain the why to these questions?
I have a very hard time believing this is the case. About every month or two someone I know interviews and I get the full debrief. I've also been through the process this just doesn't make sense. Much like a check ride failure, it wasn't just the steep turn you busted it was the overall impression that you in.
For everybody else, keep in mind they WANT to hire you. There are many days where 11/12 or 12/12 are hired. They've been using this interview model for decades and it works very well.
