QUESTION 26 OF 40

One small error can throw off our entire balance. How do you react when you do something wrong at work?

The interviewer asks this question to assess your problem-solving skills, leadership potential, and emotional intelligence and to determine if you hold yourself accountable for your actions. In the banking industry, even a small mistake can impact business operations. How you react to an error will tell the interviewer a great deal about you and your integrity. It will also indicate whether your approach is in the team's best interest.

"I can be my toughest critic when it comes to making mistakes. If I made an error, I would tell my manager right away. If a manager were not available, I would bring the situation to the attention of a co-worker capable of helping me fix the issue. Even being pennies off in a day can make a big impact. You can rest assured that I will deliver perfection."

"I am an honest person who is accountable and eager to learn. These traits ensure that I will take every action necessary to do my job perfectly. If I make a mistake, I want to learn from that error. I would bring the error to my manager's attention as soon as possible, so there are as few consequences as possible."
