This question correlates directly with one of their five signals, driving results. Your interviewer is curious how self-managed and self-directed you are in your own work, whether you lead by example, and how you drive successful outcomes for your teams. "Driven by connection, Meta's success continues to be built around open innovation, collaboration and discovery. Inspired by collaboration. When creativity meets collaboration, connections come alive. Build connections that breathe life into our worlds. Come build something different with us."

Your Meta interviewer will evaluate your answer to see whether you push "yourself and others to deliver against goals and objectives." So, spend time in advance meditating on how you would articulate what "your drive to push boundaries, to create new, exciting ways to connect," looks like to you.

"I just adhere to my own standard and stay true to my character. In every way, I try to best my personal best. If I adhere to my standard, I am satisfied. If I exceed it, I am happy. But, I am present in my performance and positive in my attitude, and I always aim to make my positivity known and felt. If I can lead by example, either through my work ethic or my optimism, then all the better. This is especially useful when things don't go according to plan. I think it's common for stress or pessimism to arise in such situations. That's when you have to stay positive most of all."
