  • 17. In what areas do you typically have the least amount of patience at work?

      How to Answer

      The interviewer wants to learn more about what motivates you and what creates barriers for you at work. Think of an area where you struggle with patience that is not a key responsibility of the role. A great answer would be saying that you have no patience for co-workers who are unethical, and you will report them immediately. This shows the interviewer that you care about the workplace environment and that you care about creating an ethical hospitable environment for everyone to work in.

      "I would say that I typically have the least amount of patience with co-workers that are doing things incorrectly or doing things that they are not supposed to do."

      Chad's Feedback

      This is a good start. You may wish to begin your answer by stating that you do possess a high level of patience. I would also suggest adding the approach you would take to deal with the co-workers and resolve the situation. Would you approach them privately to discuss your concerns? Would you report the situation to a manager? Whatever your approach, you want to show the interviewer that you are a person of integrity and care about the environment in which you work.
