QUESTION 13 OF 40

How would you describe your work ethic?

When the interviewer asks about your work ethic they are looking for specific examples or keywords they can relate to. When you read the company job posting or job description do they refer to particular company ethics? Talk about their values and how those align well with your personal work values.

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

Here are some keywords to describe your work ethic:

- Diligent
- Ambitious
- Thorough
- Attentive
- Consistent
- Humble
- Earnest
