Question 36 of 40

When was the last time you assisted someone in reaching their goals?

"I was working with a coworker who really wanted to have their own order, and they were awarded the responsibility of ordering stock for the health and beauty section. This was their first order, and they were having a little trouble keeping the shelves of their section stocked. Other times, they were ordering way too much and clogging up the back room with too much product. So, we hung out after our shift and I shared my system and approach since I have a pretty strong track record for consistently ordering truck to shelf with little back stock and always have well-represented shelves. After going through it a few times, and letting them take the reins to ensure they truly understood what I was communicating, their ordering capabilities dramatically improved, and they were thankful for my contribution."

      How to Answer

      Your interviewer is curious how team-oriented you are. How you answer could inform them whether you are singularly focused in advancing your own career goals or interests, or whether you view the success of the team as a whole as your own success. Whole Foods Market describes themselves as a dynamic community, where "your role lies at its core... where each day carries the potential for meaningful change, both in your career and in the lives of those we reach. We're dedicated to ensuring the finest natural and organic products reach our stores and customers. It's not just a job; it's a rewarding journey, and it begins with you."

      "One of my colleagues on an Active Directory project with me wasn't very strong in PowerShell and was doing a lot of tasks manually. I showed him how he could write simple PowerShell scripts to automate a lot of the tasks. This freed up his time a bit so he could learn PowerShell, plus I gave him plenty of useful learning resources as well."
