WEAKNESSES in NURSING INTERVIEW

I am worried that my past attendance at my former job will be frowned upon while interviewing for new jobs. I would like to mention it as a prior weakness due to prior circumstances, but follow up with that is not my work ethic and is not something I wish to make a habit of, ive given ample notice with call ins, etc. I just dont want my previous supervisor to be asked how my attendance was and have it be less than perfect and that I dont have a chance to explain myself. Any HR Or hiring managers have advice? Ty

    You are on the WRONG track with that answer.

    Attendance issues should not be addressed during a reference check. Those checks go through HR and should be a confirmation of dates worked.

    Go in with your head held high. Expect to be treated like the professional that you are.

    Research how to answer the dreaded "what are your weaknesses question".

    Pick something like.. I do not know your facilities Blah_blah_blah..but I will strive to learn that.

    A good friend just got a GOVERNMENT position.She was asked this (by the way, it's a REALLY lame question)

    She responded with, "I've worked through all of my weaknesses, I will bring nothing but my strengths."

    Good luck, keep us posted.
