QUESTION 2 OF 27

Give me a time when you went above and beyond the requirements for a project.

Interviewers love hiring people who go above and beyond the call of duty! Think about a time when you went above and beyond in your job or in your studies. Share what project you were working on, what your basic requirements were, and how you went above-and-beyond. Be sure to mention why you desired to go above-and-beyond for this project to help the interviewer see your drive to be successful in your work.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

In the past, the school had a building-wide science fair and the 3rd-grade team I worked with had the students research endangered animals for their reports. I found a website that the students would insert their information and they would generate trading cards for the students, we also did PowerPoints and I created a video with music and on a loop to play all of the student's videos.

Chad's Feedback

It sounds like you were a tremendous help for this event, and were able to add some fun and engaging elements for the students (trading cards!). Nice work! To strengthen this response, discuss what the basic requirements of your involvement were at the onset of the event, so it is clear to the interviewer how you went "above and beyond" your normal duties.
