What is your personal mission statement?
Quest Diagnostics has a clear mission: Empowering better health with diagnostic insights. While this question can be surprising during an interview, your interviewer is ideally looking to hear that you will be mission-driven in your work if you join the Quest Diagnostics team.
"My mantra is that 'people who shine from within do not need the spotlight.' I feel it is important to be a humble leader, and I take this mission statement very seriously. I want my team to be in the spotlight rather than taking sole credit for good work."
"My mission is to give my best 100% of the time. It's important to me that I have a great reputation in this industry through hard work and a positive attitude."
Not everyone has a mission statement or personal mantra just off the cuff. This is an important question to ponder in business, especially when entering leadership. Perhaps you have a quote that inspires you or a saying that you grew up with that resonates with you. Now is a great time to let your interviewer know what that is. If you feel stuck on this question, reiterate that you firmly believe in the mission of Quest Diagnostics and that you're ready to live it every day on the job.
