Question 14 of 30

Describe a change you recently made that improved the performance of your work.

It's essential to always be in pursuit of excellence in the workplace. Improving your performance shows the interviewer that you are self-driven, a go-getter, and that you have a desire to enhance your skills. Give an example of a time when you chose to change a habit or process to improve your performance. This change could be something small, like cutting out one scheduled coffee break. Maybe you decided to organize your desk better, set a boundary with a chatty colleague, or cleaned up your computer's desktop.

      Entry Level

      "I took a few hours last week to reorganize the file room. As an intern, that wasn't what my manager expected of me; however, she appreciated the added effort. Things were pretty messy in there, and I was finding myself losing time throughout the week, just searching for things. This week, I have noticed a major improvement in my time spent."

      Answer Example

      "I recently created a more thorough training manual for the new employees that we onboard. The information this new manual contains is detailed, and I find that I am answering fewer questions with new hires. The average learning curve has also improved. This change has allowed me to spend my time on other important matters."
