Work ethic describes the moral principles that you apply to your work. When the hiring managers at Progressive ask about your work ethic in a HireVue interview, they are looking for specific wording they can relate to.

When you read the job posting, check for the mention of particular principles and values. You can also search Progressive's website for the firm's values and mission statements. When you respond, clearly outline how the company's culture and principles align with your work values.

Avoid giving a general response like, "I'd describe my work ethic as consistent and reliable." The decision-makers want a specific description of how you approach your work, allowing them to understand how well you fit with their workplace environment.

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes 3-5 questions. Depending on the HireVue parameters set by Progressive, the asynchronous interview platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to 2 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.

"I am a very dedicated and loyal individual who consciously makes the right decisions and gives back to others in time and resources. I appreciate that Progressive's culture is described as 'an environment built on empowering others.' This statement resonates with me as I bring integrity to my work and spend time lifting others. For instance, every day, I make the time to encourage others and point out when I see their efforts making a difference."
