Bank of New Zealand values honesty, trust, and integrity. It's the foundation of their business and the reason customers trust them with their financial needs. The interviewer wants to know that they are hiring a trustworthy and honest employee with the integrity to do what is right, even when it's difficult. Tell the interviewer about a time you made a mistake and owned up to it, or a time when someone asked you to do something you knew was wrong or against company policy.

"Last year our manager went on an extended leave of absence and we had a temporary manager who was new to the organization. Some of my co-workers wanted to falsify our time sheets to reflect overtime hours that we did not work. I knew that was not the right thing to do and stood up for what was right, telling them I would not be a part of such actions. I ended up reporting the incident to ensure no one was stealing from the company by claiming inaccurate hours worked."

"I always do the right thing, even when no one is looking. In my last position, I was responsible for the cash deposit daily, and in the two years I worked at the company, there was never a discrepancy. There were many opportunities to take money out of the drawer or falsify records, and I was always honest and did what was right. I best show my integrity and trustworthiness by being a consistently reliable and honest employee."

Every successful day in a core department of two large companies is an opportunity to show that I am trustworthy. In my previous working, I have never been involved in a discrepancy. When I was doing my project, the client wanted me to submit the project one week before the deadline. I completed and double-checked for two days overnight before delivering it to the client.
