QUESTION 4 OF 25

We hold each other to High Standards at Olive Garden. Do you consider yourself to be honest and trustworthy?

At Olive Garden, we hold each other to high standards and treat each other with respect. One of our foundational principles is that we are committed to open, honest communication, mutual respect, and strong teamwork. Can you confidently say that communicate honestly and treat your coworkers with respect at all times?

"Honesty is something that's really important to me, and I always approach every interaction with a customer, coworker, or manager with respect, an open mind, and an honest response. I think it's important to balance honesty and kindness and warmth. When I make mistakes, I do my best to admit to them and take ownership of them immediately -- I think that's an important element of being an honest, respectful worker."

Learning from my management team, of course, I am.

Rachelle's Feedback

This is about the fourth time you have said 'of course' in an answer which tells me it may be an 'ism' that you say without realizing it :) We all have these, so don't feel bad! It's just important to take note and avoid saying them in job interviews. I have provided an example, below.

"I consider honesty to be one of the most important traits to possess in my personal and professional life. You can rest assured that I will uphold Olive Garden's high standards, and maintain my record as a trustworthy team member."
