Who has inspired you in your life and why?
While your interviewer will get a good feel for your on-the-job skills during your interview, getting to know your personality and motivations is an equally important part of your interview. With this question, they want to hear how you are inspired and motivated to get a feel for how you prefer to be led if you were to join their team at Quest Diagnostics.
"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my grandmother. She always had a smile on her face no matter how hard she worked, and she loved everyone. She was well respected and always gave more than she received. I try to live as she did."
"My current director I work under has been a huge inspiration to me over the last six years. Her passion for serving patients in a lab setting and her career successes were motivating and put the fire in me to climb the ladder in my career."
Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, a celebrity, an author - anyone! Talk to the interviewer about who has inspired your life and why.
