Providence's values statement says, 'We hold ourselves accountable to do the right things for the right reasons. We speak the truth with courage and respect. We pursue authenticity with humility and simplicity.' The interviewer would like to know if you genuinely feel that honesty is the best policy. Many will argue that honesty is not always the best policy. Talk to the interviewer about your thoughts on morality in the workplace.

"Sometimes full disclosure can damage someone's self-esteem, and reality isn't always best expressed in full and can be self-indulgent based on the person's intention. In those instances, honesty isn't always the best policy. I am an extremely honest person but think some things are better left unsaid."
