How have you demonstrated a focus on personal development and career progression in the past six months?
The interviewer would like to know the ways that you have worked to develop yourself, and your career this year. With self-development always being a hot topic, you will never find that it's time wasted. Whether it's listening to podcasts, reading a book, finding a mentor, going to TED Talks, or investing in a workshop, there is a multitude of ways you can work to develop yourself.
"I fully believe in the importance of self-development. This year, I committed myself to read one new book a month, focused on developing my skills in customer service, hospitality, and sales. I also took a Dale Carnegie workshop. Could you share with me the ways you help your employees grow and develop?"
"In the past six months, I have taken three online courses related to leadership, and talent management. I believe that personal, and professional development is critical to my success."
