Question

Rachelle Enns · Accepted Answer

"I conducted a great deal of research on Company ABC before coming here today. I appreciate that the organization's values include excellence in customer service and transparency in pricing. What stands out most to me is the company's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts. I was impressed after reading the letter from your CEO, published on the company website. Her words felt genuine. I consider myself a sincere person who welcomes those different from me. I take every new experience and treat it as an opportunity to learn and make meaningful connections."

Rachelle Enns · Answer

The interviewer is looking for evidence that you have researched the hiring company before your interview. They also want to see a strong alignment between the company's values and yours. The goal of your response is to show that you have spent time getting to know the company's values then make a clear connection between those values and how you operate in your personal and professional life.

Rachelle Enns · Answer

Avoid simply memorizing the hiring company's values and reciting them back to the interviewer. Instead, spend time absorbing what the company's values mean and consider how you emulate those values in your life. This way, your response will feel genuine and thoughtful.

Rachelle Enns · Answer

Most companies will have their core values available on their website. You must know and understand the company's values to make a strong alignment statement. When responding, be sure to include specific examples of how you actively live those values.

Rachelle Enns · Answer

"I appreciate how proud Company ABC is of its values - to treat everyone with kindness and to deliver above customer expectations every time. These values align closely with those I have set for myself in my professional career. I am mindful to extend kindness to others, even in difficult situations where it might be easier to act selfishly. I am also customer-centric. Without exceptional service standards, a business is purely transactional. Relationships are most important to me in my personal and professional life. As you can see, there is a lot of overlap between the company values and my own, which makes me very excited to work and grow here."

"One thing I love about Hillrom and what is really important to me is how patient-centric they are. Patient care, and supporting health care professionals that provide that care is at the forefront of their focus. This is extremely important to me, that you aren't just selling a product you are selling an overall solution. They want you to take the time to understand your customers, and what we can do to best support them. They have always been innovators, structuring their developments/innovations based really around what is best for the patient. They care about their staff, they want them to grow and develop, and have fun at the same time. You want a working environment you feel safe and supported in and this is what Hillrom stands for."
