QUESTION 25 OF 30

What would you do if you caught a co-worker stealing money from Credit Union 1?

Since you will handle thousands upon thousands of dollars in cash every day, the interviewer wants assurance that you are responsible, keen, and honest. A part of honesty is also holding your co-workers accountable for their actions, and following Credit Union 1 policy. Discuss the steps you would take if you caught a co-worker stealing.

"I show pride in my work, and always take concern for the good of the company. I would feel obligated to report a co-worker stealing from the company, whether it was 10 or 10,000. If I were to witness a co-worker stealing, I would report the incident immediately."

"Theft is never acceptable, no matter the amount of intention. If I witnessed a co-worker stealing money from Credit Union 1, I would report the incident to my nearest supervisor. Of course, if you have a more formal process for reporting incidents of theft, I would refer to those guidelines."

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 would report the issue straight away to a supervisor or manager to get the issue dealt with straight away in a discreet manner. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with the issue.

Cindy's Feedback

Ok, that's a good approach. Why would you handle it this way? Is there anything you can share about your duty to the workplace or professional ethics that would lead you to respond this way?
