20. How competitive are you?
How to Answer
Being a competitive person is an excellent thing if you are appropriately competitive in the workplace. Assure the interviewer that you have a tremendous competitive edge when necessary but are still able to balance that competition healthily.
1st Answer Example
"I think that on a scale of 1-10, I would rate myself as a 7 when it comes to being competitive. I love a great competition in the workplace when it comes to sales goals and breaking through last years' numbers. I am not competitive to the point that it would hurt my team or colleagues."
2nd Answer Example
"I can be competitive when it's required. For instance; when a sales goal is at hand, or a contest is offered. Other than that, I prefer a balanced team environment."
