This question is about finding out if you are interested in continual learning and self-improvement. Businesses are constantly changing and adapting to stay competitive and profitable. This means that as the company changes, its workforce needs to adapt too. This is also why employers, when making hiring decisions, look for candidates who are proactive in their professional self-development. You should be prepared to answer questions about self-development and how you consider yourself a life-long learner. Start by writing down the top courses or workshops that you have completed in recent years. Include a short paragraph or bullet points on how you benefited from that course. Your goal is to present yourself as someone eager to learn and develop.

"To keep developing myself as a professional, I've asked other experienced editors, who I've known for years through my network, to join me in a mentor group. For the past five years, this mentor/mentee relationship has been beneficial and educated in new developments in my field. I meet with my mentor group for coffee once a month, and we share articles and tips on becoming better professionals and leaders. They also provide me with challenges to stretch myself professionally and personally."
