This may seem like a trick question since there is no specific answer. The interviewer wants to know that you will be a productive member of the team, and not someone failing to pull their weight. Some keywords you might mention in your response can include:
-Sacrifice
-Dedication
-Teamwork
-Results-driven
-Focus
Your response will tell the interviewer if you are a good fit.

"My definition of hardwork means going above and beyond to achieve a goal. This might mean working extra hours, staying focused on tasks, or helping others on the team."
