This question assesses your honesty and self-awareness and evaluates your stress level as you wonder if the interviewer has spoken to your previous manager and is concerned about what they might have said. How you answer may reveal the quality of your relationships with your coworkers, with those in positions of authority, your self-awareness, and whether you are being sincere or telling the interviewer what you think they want to hear. The assessment model will look for inconsistencies between this and your previous answers.

When researching BP's website, pay attention to the language they use in their value statements, such as descriptive keywords and key phrases. For example, you'll see terms like "lead through our values," "building enduring capability," "energize people and maximise value," "disciplined," "creative," "bold," "lead by example," "deliver a high-quality experience," "prioritize effectively," "grow," "coach," and "develop." When possible, use these words and phrases in your answers, instead of the more generic words and phrases you might typically use. This will help you demonstrate your understanding of, and your alignment with, BP's culture and values.

"I believe my managers would describe me as being very focused on my professional development, and that I have a positive impact on the morale of my teams. Invigorate is a word they used recently. They'd say I was supportive and caring, I think as well. I am always mentoring and coaching, and they'd probably mention that as well."
