Who would you say inspires you?
After working alongside hiring managers on recruitment efforts, I've learned that most look for a motivated and inspired candidate. On the toughest days, they know that digging for that extra inspiration sets the great employee apart from the good one. At Northrop Grumman, inspiration leads to quality results and dedication to innovation.
"My first manager out of college was a huge inspiration to me. Her passion for the aerospace industry was motivating and put the fire in me to climb the ladder in my career. I still keep in contact with her as part of my network and bounce ideas off of her from time to time."
"My grandfather has always inspired me. He is the person who gave me an initial interest in the aerospace field. He is the hardest-working person I know, and he taught me how important it is to read and continually grow. Because of him, I always seek to learn."
Share a story about a person who has been a positive influence on you and your career. If your dad motivated you to push through to finish your education, talk about how that impacted you. Think about who showed you that it was possible to overcome even the most significant obstacles or maybe who taught you the skills that brought you where you are today.
"My biggest inspiration has always been the pastor at our church growing up. He helped me see the importance of being mission-driven and unselfish in my pursuit of happiness. These things have carried over into the start of my career, as I'm looking for an organization working towards a great good, and I'm confident I found that here at Northrop Grumman."
