      Answer Example

      "I am always looking for ways to learn more about my profession and acquire new skills. As an example, I recently took a two week online course called Advanced Bookkeeping where I learned new skills related to inventory accounting. Since your organization is a retailer, I believe I could use the knowledge obtained from this course in the bookkeeper role. Once in the role, I would also seek out continuing education that allows me to apply skills acquired to help the organization."

      "To become a better bookkeeper I make sure that I am staying up to date on relevant topics. I also look for opportunities where I am able to grow."

      Cindy's Feedback

      Great. Can you bring both of these topics back to the opportunity? What relevant topics have you learned about lately? Is this an area that would be interesting to the interviewer (and a way to engage in conversation)? In what ways would you like to enhance your skills (and as a result, add more value to the job)?
