Would your former or current boss describe you as a worker who gladly goes the extra mile to complete their tasks?

You can say that you will go the extra mile, but it's best to give a real-life example to the interviewer about a time when you did just that. Offer up your references as well and discuss with the interviewer what you feel your most recent employer would say about you. Give examples of how you go the extra mile in the workplace.

Here are some ways that you can go the extra mile:

- Starting on your weekly inventory count, without being asked.
- Taking immediate action on any feedback that you receive from your manager.
- Coming to staff meetings ready to brainstorm or, better yet, with ideas already jotted down
- Creating new ways for you and your team to maximize efficiency
- Going out of your way to make your customers happy

"I fully believe that my current employer would describe me as a diligent go-getter. I like to work on upcoming projects without being asked. For instance, I will re-merchandise before the scheduled time so that we aren't scrambling when our new inventory comes in."
