QUESTION 11 OF 35

Have you carefully reviewed the CBP Standards of Conduct? Are there any points of ethical conduct and responsibilities you feel unable to fulfill?

The Customs and Border Protection Standards of Conduct is a multi-page PDF found on the CBP.gov website. The document outlines a variety of topics such as its mission and responsibilities, prohibited actions, misconduct, false statements, disclosure, general conduct, financial matters, political activity, and other issues critically related to ethics.

Thoroughly familiarize yourself with all available materials they offer online to prepare for this interview. Show the hiring authorities that you have a firm understanding of all expectations placed on you from an ethical standpoint.

"I have carefully combed through the ethical code of conduct provided by CBP. This code of conduct is straightforward, and I can assure CBP that, if hired, I would abide by these regulations to the letter. There were many interesting factors included in the code of ethics, such as indirectly accepting gifts, for instance. There is a lot to learn, but I am confident that I already live my life in a manner that makes it much simpler to abide by this code of ethics without any issue."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I have read and reviewed the CBP standards of conduct and believe that they are very similar to my current code of ethics that I swore to uphold. Both the standards of conduct and the code of ethics stress the importance of integrity and professionalism. I currently abide by the code of ethics daily at my job as a police officer. I believe that I would be able to fulfill all the responsibilities expected of me to their fullest extent.

Cindy's Feedback

Good. Showing how past action will predict future action in a job interview is a persuasive technique. Again, I'd recommend more detail. Would the interviewer benefit from hearing more specifically how the two standards of conduct align and how you've been practicing those in your daily work?
