Describe your work ethic.
This question is about the standard you set for yourself when performing and delivering. How you answer will inform it of how aligned you are with the performance standards it expects of employees. As Nike details in its code of conduct, "Act with integrity, and inspire others to follow your lead. Acting with integrity is about more than reading a set of policies and checking a box. It's about always acting ethically, in the small moments, as well as the big ones. It's about holding each other accountable every day we go through our jobs. And it's about feeling OK with asking for help from others. Everything we do matters, and we are all in this together."
When you describe your work ethic, you'll want to back up your words by showcasing that you've taken the time to prepare for your interview. Nike offers the advice of working smarter. Making sure you perform your research, review your application, resume, and curriculum vitae for accuracy, and making sure every step "best represents your experience." So pay attention to the details, and attest to who you are as a person and as a professional with consistency, honesty, and confidence in your delivery.
When determining where you will record your HireVue video, remember that your surroundings will be viewed as a reflection of your level of professionalism and your work ethic. You want the focus to be on you and not on your background. So make sure your surroundings are organized, your personal appearance professional, and your what appears in the video is consistent with your choice of words, free of distractions, and work-appropriate.
"My work standard is one where I am extremely competitive with myself. I am always trying to match or beat my previous record. I do this by constantly focusing on my own development and questioning how I can go above and beyond. So my standard is above and beyond. And delivering the bare minimum is what failure looks like to me."
