This question delves into your self awareness. How you answer suggests your honesty, skill level, whether you take ownership of, and how proactive you are with your own development. How you answer also could provide insights into how aligned you are with its ideal candidate. As Nike states online: "The brand seeks achievers, leaders and visionaries. At Nike, Inc. it's about each person bringing skills and passion to a challenging and constantly evolving game."
On its website, Nike advises their applicants to make their first impression count. It offers simple advice, such as checking your resume and curriculum vitae for spelling, grammar, and answering its re-qualifying questions. It states that checking your work for thoroughness and consistency "makes a huge difference." How consistent your materials are with how you answer each question, as well as how consistent your answers are with each other, will help you make it to the next interview, and will help the corporation identify top talent. As Nike states online, its goal is to "attract, retain, and reward the world's most innovative people."
When considering what to share about how your leaders described you, review any recent performance reviews, or any recent feedback you've received on or off the job. Then try to determine how that aligns with the types of employees Nike describes it is looking for. For example, Nike describes how it aims to develop a "motivated, diverse and engaged global team." So find any comments or feedback your leaders have delivered that describe you as motivated, engaged, and resourceful or innovative, or anything that suggests you contribute to its diversity in the contributions you've made.
"They have described me as supportive, team-oriented, ambitious, and always thinking outside of the box. They would also say I am passionate about what I do, loyal, and motivated."
