QUESTION 21 OF 31

Would your former or current boss describe you as a worker who gladly goes the extra mile to complete their tasks?

Answer with confidence. There is no need to feel nervous about this question. If the interviewee comes across as confident and provides a notable answer that is consistent with the rest of the interview, that will offer the interviewer greater confidence in what the candidate claims to offer. If this question makes a candidate nervous, this will raise the question of how honest a candidate has been about their qualifications and accomplishments.

"My former boss would describe me as an employee who goes the extra mile. In my most recent position, I was always available on my email, and many of my service clients had my cell phone number just in case of an after-hours emergency. When you call my reference he will be happy to expand on that for you, I am sure."

"I sure hope so! I have always put my best foot forward, and I very much dislike being bored. I go the extra mile whenever possible because that's what great employees do! I have received very positive feedback from all of my previous employers."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

My former boss said to me " you are the best secure tracking dispatcher I have ever had." They appreciated my accuracy, attention to detail, ability to multi-task, and always emails them with any concerns or questions. Great communicator and gets the work done no matter what.

Cindy's Feedback

Good, but explain how this compliment connects to going the extra mile. Do you have an example of going above and beyond?
