Give me an example of a time you went above and beyond your responsibilities.
Your answer to this question will reveal your work standard and how much you put into your work day to day. Display to the interviewer that your standard is more than the bare minimum. Show that you're quick to react when you identify opportunities to rise to the occasion beyond your usual day-to-day expectations. Try to come across as that can-do clutch player they're on the lookout for.
"Last week, I noticed my manager had not completed the schedule for the following week. Some of the staff complained that they didn't have their work schedule yet. Rather than going to my manager with the complaint, I offered to take on some of her workload so she would have the time to complete the schedule. We worked together for a couple of overtime hours that day and caught her up on everything. It felt good to help."
"I'd like to think that I go above and beyond most days. I help my colleagues when they are running behind. I work overtime hours when they are requested of me. And, I spend more time ensuring that safety practices are followed than the average individual in our department."
