What is your philosophy towards work?

TripAdvisor's company mission is to help people around the world plan and have the perfect trip. To make this motto come to fruition, they work hard - never easing up on the competition or delivering 'good enough' work. The interviewer would now like to see that your philosophy towards work will complement their mission.

How you view work, and your career, will be a huge factor for the interviewer when determining your fit with their organization. Just like a company will have a value and mission statement, so should you. Your philosophy can be a quote that resonates with you or a list of values that are important to you. Be sure that your belief aligns nicely with the goals of the interviewing company. Be brief. The interviewer is not looking for a dramatic monologue.
