19. At Company ABC, we value professional development and education. What is the last learning opportunity you have been able to participate in?
How to Answer
The interviewer wants to know if you seek to learn new information when given the chance. Many organizations offer continuing education but some people don't even take advantage of it. Show the interviewer that learning new information is important to you and how it could benefit the organization.
1st Answer Example
"I am so glad to learn that you are supportive of continuing education. The last opportunity I had was two months ago. It was a panel of speakers on how AI is and will continue to change our work. It was fascinating. I talked to a few of the speakers after and learned about the systems they are using so I can bring it back to my company for further discussion. This kind of technology would help us be more efficient in many areas."
2nd Answer Example
For example: "I was continuously relying on another colleague to do all of my design work. Her work load is very full and it would be so much faster to do it myself. I asked my leader if I could take a 2 day course to learn the design platform. She agreed so I attended and learned a lot. I did need to do some additional practicing during my own time, but I was really excited about it, so it didn't feel like work. Now, I can finish my work much more quickly since I can also do the design part."
