Work ethic describes the moral principles that you apply to your work. When Edward Jones asks about your work ethic in a HireVue interview, they are looking for specific wording to which they can relate.

When you read the job posting, check for the mention of particular principles and values. You can also search Edward Jones' website for a values and mission statement. When you respond, clearly outline how those principles align with your work values.

After outlining your work ethic, share an example of when you demonstrated those characteristics and traits in the workplace. Storytelling impacts the hiring managers because it provides evidence of your ethics and personal character.

If you want to tell a story about your ethics in action, you can form one using the STAR framework (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes 3-5 questions. Depending on Edward Jones' parameters, the HireVue platform will typically give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to 2 minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.

"I am a very dedicated and loyal employee. On Edward Jones' website, I saw that the organization values creating an environment of collaboration, growth, and respect that enriches the lives of your clients and associates. My work ethic aligns greatly with this value. I work hard for my employer and deliver excellent customer service no matter how the day unfolds. For instance, I am often the last to leave the office for the day because I am committed to returning every client's voicemail and email before I wrap up my workday."
