How do you answer 'Describe your work ethic' in a job interview?

Describing Work Ethics in an Interview

Here are answers and suggestions from FAQ Farmers:

  • My experience with the phrase is that it describes one's level of commitment to a task/employer/course of study. Ability to go the extra mile, stay the course, persistence to achieve quality, finding resources when stuck, own the problems that arise, etc. Punctuality and showing up fall in there, too.

  • I try to learn the mission statement and vision of the organization that I am working for before I commit my time, my passion, and my energy to it. If I believe in the mission/vision statements and I am reasonably sure that the supervisors abide by most of it, I will give my time, my extra hours, and my positive attitude to the agency. I need to be able to transmit that mission even on the worst days and to remember that you must balance your love for work with your love for health and take time to reflect, relax, and play.
