Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.
Your interviewer is curious if you align with this facet of their culture. As DDI advertises on its website, "Our associates make a difference, take only what we need, and give back all that we can. DDI is proud to be a leader in the leadership development industry. But what we're most proud of is our commitment to sparking positive changes in the communities where we are located. We strive to make a difference." Therefore, they'd like to know whether you consider yourself a socially responsible team player.

"I work a lot, but when I have free time, I spend it with my grandkids. It gives my son a bit of a break as he is a full-time single dad. In addition to this, I volunteer at the local drop-in center every Christmas to feed the homeless. Giving back is very important to me."

I usually take part in running courses which are organised to collect money for different associations for people in need, or research on a disease.

This answer is a good start! When it comes to these running courses, do you have any measurable results to offer from your specific involvement? If DDI mentions their philanthropy efforts or community giving, it will be important to also join that conversation and mention what you know about their efforts. Last, you will then want to add a qualifying statement on how your efforts and theirs will be a positive match. It's all about collaboration! :)
