Job Interview Answer: What Would You Do if Your Replacement Worker Doesn't Show

By , About.com Guide

When you are applying for a retail position a common job interview question is "What would you do if your replacement worker doesn't show up?"

Here are sample answers you can use to respond:

  • I would call my supervisor to let her know, and would stay until I was sure the selling floor was covered.
  • I would try calling him to see when he would be coming in, and I would make arrangements to stay until he arrived.
  • If she was unable to make her shift, I would find a replacement, and stay until the replacement came in.
