Johnson & Johnson's credo is all about responsibility to their customers, employees, stakeholders as well as the communities they serve. They want to gauge your concept of integrity and how it aligns with theirs. They want to know if your moral high ground would complement or clash with their company's values.

Use examples of your own conduct. Avoid using negative examples or highlighting a lack of integrity in others. Holding yourself in contrast to others is no different than exploiting someone else's weakness to make your strengths seem bigger than they are. Such a move lacks integrity.

Integrity comes from moral values. My parents instilled these values in me as a young child. I always ask myself, would a certain choice or situation be something that I would feel good about.
Margarita's Feedback
Here you spoke about integrity being a basic part of you; however, the employer might need a bit more detail about how it plays out in your actions.
Growing up I was taught that integrity is a basic moral value; therefore, I use it to make important decisions. Before I accept any assignment I think about whether or not I can deliver with excellence.

Having a busy timetable means that time management is key. However, there are some times when a schedule doesn't quite go to plan for a number of reasons. I would say that my integrity shows in these instances because without communicating this to others, work can quickly pile up. It's important, to be honest about what you can and cannot do so if I am struggling with something or need help I would communicate this to my superior or peers and come up with a solution that meets everyone if there are multiple participants involved. I also believe morals are a key part of this industry and getting work done quickly should never compromise the quality of work as this can have a very big impact on someone's life and the overall process of early on errors. I am also a reliable employee and have always turned up on time and stayed late to help out in my role as a student ambassador and my integrity has shown through giving honest information to those questioning my experience as a student at university.
Amanda's Feedback
This is a good starting place! Integrity is a key characteristic that every potential employer wants in an employee. I'd suggest streamlining this answer a bit so that it's more focused. Consider talking more specifically about a time when you showed integrity in a challenging situation. Using an example is more impactful and makes you a more memorable candidate.

The private clinic I worked at it was a very small technical department. This meant that there was more responsibility. Some days, there was only one technician scheduled at a time with a list of patients. this meant that there was little room for sick days or not being your best self. I showed integrity by being driven and dedicated to the company and to the patients.
Amanda's Feedback
This is a solid start that you can build on because it shows that you're dependable. A person with integrity behaves ethically and does the right thing, even when working on their own. You can strengthen this answer by sharing a specific example of a time when you showed integrity in the way you work, treat patients, or collaborate with others. You could explain that even when taking care of all patients by yourself, you consistently showed each one compassion, were patient during stressful situations, or refused to take shortcuts that could cause anyone harm.

I was raised watching my mother and father waking up at 4 am at the farm where I grew up; my mother would prepare his lunch, and my father will go to work at 5 am every day. I do not remember a day that dad or mom would not do this routine. I learned at a young age about waking up and getting ready for school on my own and doing my schoolwork first. My strong work ethic and reliability come from my parents to be a responsible human being to my family, job, and personal development. Those are my two strongest core values, and they show up in everything I am involved in. For example, I worked for several years In-House for one of our strategic accounts. When working without supervision; Self-Management is key to working with minimal supervision, managing my own time effectively, maintaining control over all current projects/responsibilities, doing my work right to the best of my ability, and putting the needs and well-being of people who depend on my customer products and services first, following up on all relevant issues for my customers until they are resolved. I am a reliable employee who my manager can always count on.
Marcie's Feedback
Great! You come across as a reliable and hardworking employee, which will undoubtedly impress the interviewer. Sharing your family's background is interesting and shows where you get your strong work ethic. Remember, though, that this question is about integrity (i.e., doing what is right) and not about reliability, working independently, or having a good work ethic (although they usually go hand in hand). Can you provide an example of a time when you chose to do the right thing (even if it wasn't an easy decision to make)? This is more along the lines of what the interviewer will be looking for here. Good job!
