How would you describe your work ethic?
You may be carefree and fun-loving with your friends on the weekends, but at work, you are focused and professional. The interviewer is interested in your personality and how you will fit with the team. Give specific examples or keywords they can relate to. When you read the company job, posting or job description do they refer to particular ethics? Talk about their values and how those align well with your work values.
"I am a very dedicated and loyal employee. I saw on your website that you describe your facility as honest, transparent and you go the extra mile for your patients. My work ethic is the same. I am honest, flexible, and come ready to work hard for my patients every day."
"Past employers have told me they admire my strong work ethic and dedication to the profession. I am compassionate, honest, hardworking, and dependable. I show up to work early, stay late when needed, and am available after hours for my patients. I believe in giving my best in everything I do."
"I count myself among the most dedicated PAs, not only to my patients but also to my clinic. I am hardworking, humble, kind, and passionate. I wake up every single day excited to go to work, excited for my job, my patients, and my role in helping the medical community."

Excellent response! You sound confident and are very well-spoken. Your professionalism shines through, and it's apparent that you take pride in your work. At the end of your response, I recommend adding a 'qualifying statement' that addresses how your work ethic will benefit the organization, should they hire you.
