QUESTION 16 OF 35

How would you describe your work ethic?

As they claim on their career pages on their website, "This is built on the two 'Rs' - Respect and Results. We value our employees, we provide them with opportunities to achieve, and together this produces results. You'll be working alongside people who take pride in getting things right the first time every time, have a Can-do spirit and a positive outlook on life. We share a hands-on attitude, love a challenge and do everything with a smile on our faces."

When your interviewer asks about your work style or ethic, they seek to determine your skill level and professionalism. Explain how you deliver results, doing your work the right way right off the bat while preventing rework. Align your values to the values of DHL Logistics. Talk about the tools and resources you used to plan your work and stay organized on the job. Exhibit your strong time management skills, the standards you used to prioritize your work, and your ability to assess the timing, commercial importance, and your priorities.

Multitasking is challenging for most. How you track your progress and pick up where you left off on a task you had to shelve when more pressing priorities took precedence is important. Staying productive and preventing rework is part one of this. Being singularly focused is a strength, so long as you can shift gears and exhibit flexibility when the need arises. Your ability to demonstrate sound judgment and prioritize based on the greater good of the team is of equal relevance.

"I am a very dedicated and loyal employee. I saw on your website that you describe your company as honest and transparent, and you go the extra mile for your clients. My work ethic is the same. I am honest, flexible, and work hard for my employer every day."

Some characteristics you may want to use are:

- Determined/Driven
- Accountable
- Humble
- Respectful
- Dependable
