You don't have to be a car fanatic to stay up to date on the latest industry trends, developments, regulations, and innovations. Before interviewing with Ford, remember that this is their passion. You want to reflect back to them that you too are passionate and driven to stay current on what's happening in your field. This question is also an excellent opportunity to strike up conversation, share some recent developments you've read up on, to talk shop and ask the interviewer what resources they rely on when it comes to staying up to date in your industry.

It's great that you work so hard to remain up-to-date in your industry. I'm not following the final part of your answer, so I recommend that you instead give specifics regarding what sources you lean on for your information. You could also briefly discuss an industry-related event or breakthrough that you recently learned of as a result of these publications and resources.

iI stay current by reading magazines such as Autocar, Ford News from our own company's current news. I read blogs such as auto blog and watch tv programs such as Top Gear and Formula. I enjoy these greatly and like learning about all new automotive industry technologies and related items. I saw online this week about the hybrid working mobile scheme the company is offering to employees. I see both advantages and disadvantages to this going forward. for instance, if say our calibration are scheduled to be a team meeting on a Monday, and we need them in the lab on Wednesday last minute, what happens if they can't come into the lab? do you see any problems with this going forward? and also can you recommend any areas I can also look at to keep up to date with the latest automotive industry news?
