"I work hard, smart, and fast. I look for the path of resistance to doing the job the right way right away. We were in the middle of re-merchandising, and I finished before anyone else. I just jumped on to the next task of helping everyone around me. I have a habit of setting the pace, and pretty soon, we finished the whole project a few hours early. Then, we cleaned the whole store and got everything ready for the next day. I believe in paying it forward. What comes around goes around."

The interviewer is trying to assess your work ethic and motivators. Your answer will help them determine to what extent you are an overachiever and how well you'd compare to the other candidates. They want to know if you consider success as crossing daily items off your list or have your eye on the big picture.

They'll be looking for verbal and non-verbal cues to determine if you can identify what makes you uniquely qualified for this position. Try to come across as relaxed as possible, speaking in a level yet enthusiastic tone. Maintain eye contact, and smile softly. Confident, poised, and natural is the demeanor you want to strike. Make sure to enunciate your words. Try not to stutter or take long pauses. Remain objective and confident, keeping your face and posture relaxed and your body language open and at ease.
