When the interviewer asks about your work ethic, they are looking for specific keywords to which they can relate. When you read the company job posting or job description, see if they refer to particular company ethics. Talk about their values and how those align well with your work values.

Some characteristics you may want to use are:

- Determined/Driven
- Accountable
- Humble
- Respectful
- Dependable
