The interviewer is looking for your capacity in being thorough when completing a job, being alert, and double-checking to make sure standards are met. With a repetitive task, this is often hard to do. Try to think about the things you might do that keep you alert on the job, like saying the steps out loud each time, putting each step to a rhythm or song that you hum while working, or taking frequent breaks to keep your mind sharp.

Elizabeth Engler

"As an apprentice, I was given a big box of circuits to rewire. Each one had to be done the same way, and each one had to be done separately. Meaning, I couldn't do one part of every circuit and then come back and do the next part. I had to completely finish each circuit before moving to the next one. After about half the box, I realized this was a pretty boring and repetitive job. I made sure to take frequent short breaks to keep my mind sharp and focused. I also found myself saying the steps out loud as I did them to make sure I was fully focused on each circuit. I finished the whole box, and they were all done correctly, so I'd say that particular method of handling a repetitive task worked pretty well for me."
