QUESTION 17 OF 35

How do you feel you can contribute directly to the mission of NASA?

Your interviewer asks this question for two main reasons. First, it allows them to validate that you've prepared well for your interview. Second, it gives them a chance to hear your perspective on how you will add value to the team at NASA if hired.

It is important to prepare several examples of how you feel you can add value to the teams at NASA before your interview. It is also important to know how your skills and abilities align with NASA's mission to explore the unknown in air and space, innovate for the benefit of humanity, and inspire the world through discovery.

"As a telecommunications technology engineer, I can contribute to NASA's missions directly by ensuring that the equipment I work on operates at its best at all times. Also, I have a strong record of identifying innovations in my previous roles. That kind of creativity will add value directly as NASA continues to explore space. Greater levels of innovation are required the further NASA travels away from the Earth."
