The hiring authority knows that 'hard work' can mean something completely different from one person to another. To one person, another person's hard work could seem like slacking.

"My mom would always say, 'the early bird gets the worm,' which I agree with, but I think hard work goes beyond that. Being a hard worker means that you are invested in the goals and targets of your company. You don't leave your job until it's done 100% right. You also don't just leave your job the moment you walk off the site. It's always with you; thinking of ways that you can improve your performance the following day."

"Hard work includes the mental effort that I am putting into my deliveries. Working hard means striving to be a leader, and an example, in everything I do. I want to comfortably contribute to safety, process, and overall culture in everything that I do."
