Hiring managers ask this question to learn about your work ethic and level of commitment to the profession and your role. They want to better understand your motivation and willingness to put in extra effort when needed. Employers want to hire employees who are willing to take on new challenges that result in consistent improvement, instead of doing only exactly what they are told. In addition, your interviewer likely wants to understand your thought process.

Discuss your values and how they may benefit the company you are interviewing for. Consider a time you had a project or task with a clear goal; then explain the goal and what your leader expected of you. Let the interviewer know how much effort and time you dedicated to achieving a better outcome with your extra work. Use the STAR behavioral response technique to outline the situation, your response, and the results.

"In my previous job, I worked on a strategic project for our company and finished my part a few days before the deadline. During the next meeting, the project manager mentioned that a few colleagues had fallen behind in their tasks. They would need to work late for several days, including the upcoming weekend, to finish on time. I had done their tasks before, so I volunteered to help them. I worked hard with them, including many extra hours, and we were able to meet the deadline."
