QUESTION 10 OF 30

Give me an example of a time when you went above and beyond workplace expectations.

The interviewer would like to know about your willingness to go over and above for your employer without being prompted to do so. Show that you react appropriately when you see that your team has a need beyond your usual day-to-day expectations as an Assistant Manager.

"Last week I noticed that the Floor Manager had not completed the schedule for the following week. Some of the staff were complaining that they didn't have their work schedule yet. Rather than going to the Floor Manager with the complaint, I offered to take on some of her tasks, giving her time to complete the schedule. We worked together for a couple of overtime hours that day and caught up on everything. It felt good to help, and it also benefited the team as a whole."
