"Hard-working. During the first release of our new product, I put in approximately 350-400 hours in one month to help assist our end users. If something wasn't working, and it was my time to go home, I would stay and get it working for our end users.
This is where I began to improve on my project management skills as well as delegating tasks, but I do believe in hard work, growing and not staying stagnant in your position — always wanting to achieve more for yourself."
10/10. Nice answer!

"I am an enthusiastic, positive worker who encourages my team members through words of affirmation, and having a sense of humor lightens the environment when work gets too stressed out. I am also efficient and try to implement ideas to cut costs and improving workflow. For example, by initiating that we should go paperless and go digital saves us space in the office and money in buying paper and other materials by 30 percent!"
These are strong work ethic descriptors! To strengthen your answer, try telling a quick story that highlights your work ethic in action.

"I would say I have a do whatever it takes to get the job done work ethic. If I need to come in early, stay late, work during lunch to get a task complete, then that is what I will do. If I need to take a last-second flight to fly out and take over teaching a class for a team member who is sick, then that is what I will do to get the job done."
You sound like an incredibly hard worker, and any interviewer should appreciate how you describe your work ethic.

"I am a very honest person. I find that very important also on the work floor. If there is something that's isn't going very well with a colleague, I would like to find out what is it that I have done or can do differently. I am also a very hard worker. I worked in the operations part of our company store, which was a lot of physical work, with long hours spent standing, and night shifts."
The idea is there! I've reworded this a bit to include complete thoughts.
"I describe my work ethic as honest, communicative, and dedicated. I present the most helpful solutions to my customers at all times. If there is a riff on the sales floor with my colleagues, I will address the situation right away, with a collaborative mindset.
