Work Ethic

Interviewers ask this question is to find out what sets you apart from the other qualified applicants.

“I believe I am the most qualified for the job because I have completed 15 years in this field. While working, I attended a night school in order to stay current with the latest technological changes. I am dependable and goal-oriented, and I work well in teams. Last year, for example, my team increased office productivity by 39 percent by developing a simple record-keeping program for the company’s health insurance. We completed the project well ahead of schedule, too.”

“As my resume states, I have over 10 years of experience working in management in this field. What isn’t stated there is that I was one of the founders of the company and my sales skills grew it from a start-up all the way to its first public offering. The skills I used to do this have been further honed, and I anticipate being able to do great things for your company as well. In addition to having sharp business acumen, I relate well to my colleagues and clients and pride myself on being an excellent communicator, which helps foster a stress-free environment for everyone.”

 

When the recruiting manager asks you to explain your work style, there are a few important elements they are searching for. They first want to know how you’ll fit into the team and company culture that already exist. The recruiting manager is a potential future boss of yours, thus they are interested in how well you will get along with them.

They’re also interested in your general work ethic and attitude. Do you have the ability to accept criticism, pay attention to directions, and maintain composure under pressure? When asked about your work style, employers may look for characteristics like those.

You must be aware of your strengths and shortcomings in order to answer this question, as well as your capacity for flexibility. Your response should emphasize your abilities, self-awareness, industry expertise, and understanding of the job’s requirements.

“I make an effort to work quickly when working alone in order to finish assignments on time. I do, however, also appreciate team projects. In my previous role, one of our clients unexpectedly made a sizable order. Normally, I could have completed the assignment by myself, but it would have required more time. We were able to divide up the project among several employees thanks to collaboration, and the business was able to deliver before the deadline. Since it might be challenging to evaluate one’s own work with objectivity, I appreciate the opinions of my supervisor and my coworkers. The continuous criticism has made me a more skilled professional who produces better outcomes.”
