An instance when you went above and beyond the call of duty?

Answer 1

This is a behavioral interview question and the competency or behavior that the interviewer is exploring is your work ethic and work standards. You should think back to your previous employment and select an example when you had to put in extra time, extra effort or extra resources to solve a problem for a customer, complete a task or project or help a colleague or manager. Then detail the situation, the steps and actions you took and the outcome. For a good guide on how to answer behavioral interview questions like this go to the Behavioral Interview Guide.

Going above and beyond has included taking other people's work because they chose not to finish it. It also means helping my co-workers when they are having a hard time. This has sometimes been required to get a job done.

Answer 3

This is one of the types of question that you may get at an interview; they are intended to get you to talk about yourself in a fairly informal manner. The questions are usually about some aspect of your own life so it is not possible for anyone else to answer them for you.

You should think carefully, before attending the interview, about such questions as this so as to be prepared when asked. There are several such questions and there is a great deal of information on the internet and elsewhere about techniques to employ when attending interviews.
