How do you deal with distractions in the workplace?

It is common to experience distractions in the workplace. Whether it's a coworker, customer, or self-inflicted distraction, there will be a time you will experience it at Colgate-Palmolive. Discuss with the interviewer how you overcome and handle distractions in the workplace. You can even provide examples of how you have already overcome situations in the past.

"In my last role, I had a coworker that liked to chat for a long time during working hours. It is important for the sake of workplace culture to set aside time to be social with coworkers, so I usually just let them know when I'll be available for a quick break in the day so that we can chat. I really appreciate working well with others and cannot wait to meet people on the team in this role at Colgate-Palmolive."

"I actively work to minimize distractions in the workplace and set up ways to make sure I don't have any. For example, I keep my cell phone in my locker at my current job so that I am not tempted to be on my phone during working hours."
