How would you describe your work ethic that you would bring to the Boeing team?

Question

Karrie Day · Accepted Answer

"I have limited professional experience, but I have ultimately gone above and beyond the duties of every role I have had. For example, I worked as a virtual assistant while I was in college. My manager knew that I was working toward my degree in data analytics and asked if I wanted to take on some data analysis assignments for her company in addition to my work as her assistant. She said my previous work was excellent and she wanted to offer me as many opportunities as I could handle. I jumped right into everything she sent me, and I enjoyed the opportunity to extend my role. I know I would approach the role of associate analyst here at Boeing the same way."

Karrie Day · Answer

Before answering this question, let's explore the concept of work ethic. Someone who works hard and applies their values of discipline and creates the best quality while working towards a higher goal is a person with a solid work ethic. Taking it to the next level, you can think about some of the moral principles that drive you. Integrity shows up in the quality of work you offer, your honesty, and your reliability. These are also core values at Boeing.

As well, teamwork is an ability and a mindset that helps you motivate others and work collaboratively with your colleagues. Your ability to take responsibility and follow through with commitments is another way you can demonstrate your work ethic. Consider using some of these concepts when you discuss this topic with your interviewer at Boeing in your interview.

"I am a very dedicated and loyal employee. I saw on the Boeing website and social media platforms that you describe your company as accountable, quality-focused, and driven by integrity in all that you do. My work ethic is the same. I am driven by providing excellent results in my work and being responsible for all of my actions on the job. I would look forward to bringing this work honest, flexible, and come ready to work hard for my employer every day."

"I have worked in cybersecurity for 12 years, and I understand the criticality of the work I do. It requires that I give my tasks my full attention, and that I work as quickly as possible to mitigate threats. A minor slip by any one team member can open a door for a major attack.

I would offer Boeing my dedication and full attention as a senior cybersecurity engineer. I would be prepared to give my work my best effort every day that I work, and I would be prepared to jump in outside of my normal hours as needed. I am passionate about protecting defense systems to the fullest and I will do my highest quality work every day."

"One of my current coworkers describes me as tenacious. I think that is a great way to describe my work ethic. I invest myself fully in my assignments and I see them through until a quality outcome is achieved. I do whatever it takes to gather and analyze the information available to me, and I partner with the right people at the right times to design solutions that are a custom fit for the needs of my clients. I would offer the same level of excellence as a business analyst to my stakeholders and teams here at Boeing."

Karrie Day · Answer

"I would describe my work ethic as balanced. I work hard and set a good example for the project teams I lead. However, I also know how to step back and take time to learn something new, or take a break and rejuvenate so that I can work hard again the next day. I help my teams do the same to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy dynamic.

I would bring the same approach here to my work at Boeing. I would work hard to establish a healthy flow and balance in between working hard to achieve goals and taking time to restore equilibrium."

Additionally, I am constantly reviewing new technologies and participating in continual learning opportunities. I look forward to offering the same level of excellence to my assignments here at Boeing if selected for the open position."

"Spending my adult life as an Airman in aircraft maintenance accomplishing the mission has always been the priority, but not at any cost. It is critical to work in a timely manner while never rushing nor allowing rushing or cutting corners. It takes more time to correct faulty work caused by cutting corners than doing the job right the first time. I have carried this into the civilian sector and look forward to further developing it with Boeing."
