Describe a time you were asked to do something you did not bthink was right?

Answer 1

They're trying to determine your loyalty. That depends on who was telling you to do the "bad deed" and what the "bad deed" is. If its a co-worker, you'd decline their request and you'd report them to management. Just a side note: If its upper management and what they are telling you to do conflicts with your personal beliefs (for example, you're a vegetarian and your tofu company has decided to sell only meat products), then it would be up to you to put up with it or resign. Chances are, you're not going to single-handedly change the company or its practices.

Answer 2

Describe a time you were asked to do something you did not think was right.

It is my duty to handle whatever task given by my supervisor even though the task is beyond my job scope. However, if the task conflicts with the company's interest, I would decline the request. In the case that my supervisor insist me to handle the task, I would make a report to the higher level.

Answer 3

This is a trick question. Frame the answer to the first option in the context of your strengths. Was the work assignment legal or did it violate your integrity? Was it an assignment that you completed with flying colors even though you didn't have the experience/education/training to perform the action?

Answer 4

Be honest and give a thoughtful and humble answer. This question is just an excersize in finding out if you know boundaries and what is right and wrong. The employer would just like to see your reaction to a very interesting question such as this, and to see if you are willing to trust them and throw up an answer. Definitely do not tell them about your past drug deals, armed robbery, or anything like that, but, on the other hand, don't tell them you're perfectly innocent.

Answer 5

When you are asked to describe a time you were asked to do something you did not think was right, you need to be specific. Once you highlight the incidence, you should also explain how you responded.

Answer 6

You could talk about how a boss asked you to spy on another employee and how you refused to do it because you didn't think it was ethical. It also wasn't in the job description.
