The interviewer wants to know that you are the type of person who will readily go above your job description for the benefit of Land O Lakes. Employees who say, 'That's not my job' or 'That's above my pay scale' are rarely successful long term, and often fail to achieve promotions or significant career growth.
Think back to a time when you readily exceeded expectations. Maybe you helped a coworker accomplish a goal. Perhaps you stayed late to meet a deadline. Or, maybe you filled in for a co-worker when they were away unexpectedly. Be prepared with a brief story that spotlights your excellent attitude!

"We introduced a new SAP system this year, and many of my coworkers were struggling with the change. I am tech-savvy and also love to teach others how to embrace new technology in the workplace. I offered to hold a series of lunch and learns over four weeks, helping to address common questions and concerns regarding the new system. I am still the go-to person on the floor when it comes to questions on the system. I believe this help has made us more productive, ensuring that our documentation is up-to-date and that our less tech-savvy employees still feel supported."

"I go above and beyond to make all of our new hires feel comfortable. It can be scary to walk into a new office, and a friendly face can make a big difference in employee retention during the first three months. Just recently, I noticed a new production worker looking lost and uncomfortable. I sat down with her and asked her if she had any questions. We had lunch together for a few days until I saw that she was feeling more at home. I believe she would have quit the job if she went too long without making a personal connection with someone."
