"To me, integrity means choosing to do what is right, even when nobody is watching. While attending college, I had the opportunity to cheat numerous times through test answer keys and plagiarized work. I always refused to take this route. I felt that in addition to cheating my school, I would also be denying myself the opportunity to learn everything that I could. You can rest assured that I would do everything with the utmost integrity, should I be hired here."

By definition, integrity means having 'the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.' As a security guard, your job is to protect people, property, and more. To properly perform your duties, you must be honest and have a strong moral compass. Talk to the interviewer about what it means to have integrity. Be prepared to give a real-life example of a time when you practiced honesty.

"In my previous role, I had a lot of autonomy on the job while also being responsible for large amounts of cash and valuables. There was never any discrepancy in my work. I always do the right thing, even when nobody is around to see my good decisions. What is most important to me is that I have a good reputation, and my employer views me as an employee who is trustworthy and honest."
