Tell me about the last time you took ownership of something.
It is one thing to take ownership of your mistakes and professional development. It is another to take ownership of your commitments, your involvement in the team effort, your customer's experience, and your commitment to your employer. How you answer will potentially reveal more about your character and integrity and the work ethic they could expect of you as an employee.
Vodafone expects their employees to "Live our purpose and demonstrate the highest standards of integrity. Get it done, together. Actively collaborate to break silos and hold your team accountable to do the same. Develop others to make the most of their talents and coach them to take ownership to get things done. Create an inclusive environment ensuring the safety and wellbeing of others."
When answering several questions of a similar nature, you'll want to ensure your responses and performance are consistent throughout your interview and that you are providing information consistent with your resume and CV. Avoid answering one question one way and a similar question in a manner that contradicts your previous answers. These will be viewed as performance indicators for your attention to detail and the consistency of your work performance.
"I recently volunteered for too many projects. I offered to be a backup on one project. Then, I took the calculated risk that I wouldn't be needed for it and volunteered for another. In the end, I ended up on point for both of them. Rather than delegating my work to someone else, I put my nose to the grindstone, worked overtime, and made it happen. I didn't cut corners and made sure the quality of my work was top-notch."
