Work ethic is defined as a set of moral principles a person uses in their job that encompasses many traits. These traits include hard work, dedication to the company, integrity, teamwork, dependability, professionalism, and respectfulness. The interviewer wants to hear that you have the traits and work ethic they are looking for in an employee and that you will be a hard worker who is a good fit for the company. Describe your work ethic with examples to back it up.

As with any interview question, you should avoid being dishonest. If you say you have a strong work ethic and are dependable and hard-working, but you are unreliable and do the bare minimum, the interviewer will find out when they call your previous employer for a reference. You must have a strong work ethic, or you will not last long.

"I have a strong work ethic and believe in working hard, being dependable and trustworthy, and helping others when needed. I was raised on a cattle ranch and taught the value of hard work at a young age. My parents taught me to work hard to achieve my goals, which I have done and continue to do. I was also taught, 'if you are not early, you are late.' I show up at least half an hour early to work each day and am trusted by my supervisor and crew. I love to assist others when they need help and enjoy mentoring the younger generation."
