Work ethic describes the moral principles that you apply to your work. When Pfizer asks about your work ethic in a HireVue interview, they are looking for specific wording to which they can relate.

When you read the job posting you are being considered for at Pfizer, look for particular principles and values. You can also search the company's website for a values and mission statement. When you respond, clearly outline how those principles align with your work values.

After outlining your work ethic, share an example of when you demonstrated those characteristics and traits in the workplace. Storytelling impacts the hiring managers because it provides evidence of your ethics and personal character.

If you want to tell a story about your ethics in action, you can form one using the STAR framework (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes three to five questions. Depending on the hiring company's parameters, the HireVue platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to two minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.

"My work considers my team, the organization I represent, and the customers. My approach of always thinking about how my actions and decisions impact others means I bring respect, trust, and integrity in all that I do. A great example of this was last year in my current role when I noticed the corrupt practice of a leader at my organization. While it may have been easy to turn a blind eye for some, this is not what I am about. I took the issue to our HR Director and a division director, and they greatly thanked me for the information. While it was initially hard to do, it was the right decision."
