Professional growth is vital and directly associated with the success you will see in your career. Describe how you stay up-to-date on the latest buzz topics, developments, and trends. Share your methods for continuing your education, whether at home by reading books by respected thought leaders in your industry, attending seminars, or earning an additional certificate or license. Your interviewer would like to know if you are focused on your continual development and are fully vested in your career path.

"To expand my professional knowledge, I have started an online course through NYU on microeconomics. I wanted to take the initiative to learn more on this topic and keep my knowledge current. To grow personally, I have read a couple of books on leadership. I love to read and learn from other professionals and behavioral experts."

"I appreciate that you have asked about professional development. It's a topic that is important to me. I have committed to reading one new book per month on a topic related to organizational development, leadership, and strategy. I listen to The Growth podcast every day on my commute to hear business turnaround stories. I find them inspiring."
