How would your most recent leader describe you?
They need to gain a clear sense of whether you will be accepted by their teams, and how well you would work with them. So, this question is aimed at determining how effectively you would be able to build relationships, and whether you would complement the Delta family. How you answer might also offer indications of whether you work well with those in positions of authority. The assessment model will evaluate your response for your self-awareness, sincerity, and comfort level. For example, if a candidate shows signs of stress when being asked this question, they're likely concerned about what their previous coworkers might say if asked.
They have several videos on the website where they invite you to "get to know Delta." In these short videos, Delta's employees offer testimonials where they share their experiences of what it is like to work for the company. These employees are featured as the face of Delta, and as examples of the community they've built.
"We take pride in taking care of not only our customers but our own and continuously identify new ways to take care of our people."
"When people talk about the Delta Family, I think about the word community. Being a part of Delta has given me community. I have friends that I made fifteen years ago that are still a part of my family, a part of my community. Finding those little moments of joy with customers it brings me emotional wellbeing to be able to create those moments with people. We all got into this business because we love people and those moments are what make the job worth doing."
"Community is strong at Delta with the connections we build as we work together at our common goals."
Consistency is key, both in your answers and your performance during the interview. If the HireVue algorithm detects that a candidate's non-verbal cues don't align with their verbal communication, which can indicate a lack of self-awareness, limited emotional intelligence, or burnout syndrome, their body language will be interpreted as the speaker's true feelings, intentions, and attitudes. So above all, it's important to present yourself as a confident and seasoned professional. Remember, the hiring manager is your true audience, and in the end, their opinion is the only one that really matters.
"They'd say I am generous with my time, with my skills, and with what I am willing to contribute to help out my work friends and family. They'd say that I always go above and beyond with a smile and have a great attitude. They'd say I am reliable, always to work early, and always willing to go the extra mile."
