How would your co-workers describe your attention to detail?
Your interviewer is aiming to gain a better understanding of your work style and whether you have a systems approach to ensure you are delivering quality work. As detailed on their website, facing challenging times at work "requires close attention to detail." So support your answer with a real-life example of where your level of attentiveness was put to the test.
"My co-workers would describe my attention to detail as very strong. I can very easily point out spelling discrepancies in communication and will notice the small things. If I have to drop what I am doing in favor of a more pressing matter, I am adept at tracking my progress and ensuring I can pick up right where I left off to avoid unnecessary rework. I think big-picture as well but have always had a knack for details."
"My attention to detail is a point that I have been working on a lot this past year. I am meticulous but, in the past, have pushed my documentation back a little bit. It's something I am conscious of and continually working on."
