How to Answer
Experienced Example
Answer Example

The interviewer expects you to go deeper than a yes or no response and to talk about a specific situation where you proved your trustworthiness in the workplace. As they say on their website, "We are passionately committed to serving our clients by delivering together, acting responsibly, realizing the power of our people and trusting the team." The interviewer needs to know that you are a wise choice to represent their company in any capacity. Think about a time you were trusted beyond your typical job duties and describe that situation to your interviewer. Explain why the situation was important, what you learned from it, and how it makes you worthy of Bank of America's trust.

"If you asked any of my former colleagues or managers, they would all say I am trustworthy. In my current role, my manager trusted me to physically transport our daily bank deposits and gave me a set of office keys and the code to the security system. In my five years with the organization, I have proven to be trusted with these duties through my error-free work, great attendance record, and honesty."

"I have always tried to cross-train and learn as many roles as possible. Because of this extra effort, my current manager has asked me to be a department representative on a few different committees. I've also been asked to lead a few process improvement projects within our department. My manager directly told me I was asked to take on these extra responsibilities because of the trust he has in my work ethic and my overall knowledge of our organization. If lucky enough to come work for Bank of America, I would bring this same attitude to the team here."
