Share the values that are true to you and make a difference in the position you are applying for
In coaching we define your values as what you need in your life to be your best. They are not your morals, your religion, or your ethics. They are the intangibles that illuminate you and give you energy.
When you have a fabulous day, it is rich in values. If you are angry, it means abravery centralYours has been trampled on.
Do you have to tell all this to an interviewer? Absolutely not. Howevereswhat matters is that you areself consciousenough to know your values and how they differentiate you in the workplace.
For example, say that you value itkeep promises. You can share this with the interviewer and give examples where you went to great lengths to ensure you met a deadline or customer delivery despite incredible odds.
if it matters to youauthenticity, maybe tell a story about a time when you had to deliver a tough message to your team about a layoff. Maybe you told him as soon as possible and in the most humane way possible.
In my own career I have recognized my worthjusticeby refusing to tell anyone she was being fired until the company could provide details of the severance package.
My boss wanted me to do this before I went on vacation, but I refused. Had to do it while I was goneButThe person didn't have the covers removed from underneath them until we could give them a safety net!
The bottom line isshare the values that are true for you jMake a difference for the position you are applying for. You don't have to share them all.
Highlight those where you have a great example to illustrate their value in action and how you will use it to get results for the new employer.
Answer clearly and confidently.
Our values guide our path on our life journey. It helps us stay strong and focused on our goals and what is important to us.
Our values dictate:
- how we show ourselves
- how we behave and
- how we connect and interact with others every day.
In a recent podcast interview, the host asked me to share my business identity. I paused and replied with:
"I find my identity through my values."
I continued with my top 3:
- Connection– being consciously present with others and fully participating in what you do,
- Challenge– it is important that I continue to challenge myself to learn, grow and improve, and
- authenticity– be authentic and always stay true to myself.
Instead of telling the host what I'm doing, I responded with my values to show them"Who am I."
In an interview when you are asked"What are your values?"It is best to answer clearly and confidently as this can determine whether your work ethic, demeanor and personality aligns with the company's work culture.
Be prepared to list at least three of your top values
Be prepared to list at least three of your top values to showcase what's important to you.
A person who valuesTrust"y"honesty” know the meaning ofloyaltyjintegrity, which are fundamental to integrity. If you value "creativity“It inspires to beinnovativeand they prefer to think outside the box.
„equivalence"y"justice” Show a person's great respect by mutually recognizing the fundamental dignity of others and by treating others equally.
These simple words can provide a lot of information and give the interviewer a glimpse of who you are as an employee, colleague and human being.
Choose a job that aligns with your values
Just as the interviewer is looking for someone who fits the job description and fits into your work culture, it is just as important that you, the interviewee, choose a job that matchesFulfillyour values
When your job doesn'tline upWith your values, this can lead to boredom, dissatisfaction, low productivity, burnout, and even depression.
For example, the job does not offer opportunities for"Growth"if you're worth"Challenge.“
On the other hand, if you work in a place where your values are fulfilled, you will feelmotivated,inspired, jproductive. This can lead to your overall success and happiness.
Shape the values in such a way that the interviewer perceives them as endearing qualities
What is the correct answer to the question,"What are your values in a job interview?"Do you tell them your values directly? Or change your values to fit the corporate culture?
The balance is in the middle. You must be 100% honest while avoiding over-sharing your values and presenting your values in a way that might alienate the interviewer.
Here are three tips for balancingauthenticityjvulnerability:
- State the values authentically without going into the vulnerable details of how you live the values.
- Frame the values in a way that the interviewer will find them attractive traits, not values that would negatively impact your job.
- If possible, link the values overlay to the workspace.
- Refrain from sharing all of your values.
- Pick your top 3-5 values.
- Sharing more will dilute the meaning of a value and the interviewer won't know what you don't want to share.
Here are three ways to show the value of family first.
Example 1:
“One of my values is family first. I am divorced and have full custody of my children so my family is always number one. There are times when I make sacrifices to meet their needs, but it's always worth it."
Example 2:
“One of my values is family first. Every day when I wake up, before I look at my phone, I think about how I can consciously add value to my family. This value is really about being conscious about my time.
I have excellent relationships at home and I have found that this has led me to be more aware of my work relationships.”
Example 3:
“One of my values is to live consciously. Every week I reflect on how I can consciously add value to the people I care about, including my co-workers.”
The three examples areauthentic representationYour values Everyone is vulnerable in different ways and presents different framework conditions.
When choosing your vulnerability level and framework, keep the organization and its values in mind.
If the company has a “Family Matters” value, then example 2 would fit. If the company does not have family-related values, a framework like example 3 would be most appropriate.
The key is to stay authentic and not change who you are and what you value in order to please an interviewer.When you are hired for a position, you want them to respect you and your values.
Identify your values; convey these values effectively
Interviews are your opportunity to showcase your skills, talents and experience and how you will be an asset to your team and the organization as a whole.
They arebottom,Training, jRelevant experienceSohnNOthe only things that matter to an employer.
Potential employers want to understand your unique value proposition - the things that set you apart from all other applicants.
Remember,The interview is a one-way street.As a candidate, you want to make sure that yourGoalsyou will meet
- Do you have a meaningful job, the flexibility you need to be your best, and the benefits you need for your current stage of life?
- Does the company have a sustainability initiative, practice fair and equitable employment, give back to the community, and align with its core values?
Like any other relationship, candidates seek a relationship with an employer that is mutually beneficial and attuned to themlifestyle,social views, jmoral ideology.
a recentlearnfound that 77% of job seekers consider company culture before applying. Additionally, Millennials surveyed were more likely to prioritize workplace culture over pay, with nearly 90% of respondents saying this is important to employers"have a clear mission and purpose".
These answers support the trends we're seeing in the Great Quit, where people are looking for:
- do important work
- make a difference
- Do something that matters and
- You know whatSheAffair.
Interviewers often ask"What are your values?"to see how their worldview aligns with the organization. Applicants should take time before the interview to reflect on what is most important to them and to identify where their values align with those of their potential employer.
Alignment is importantbothemployers and future employees.
According to a recent PWC study, 72% of respondents said they need to understand workplace culture before accepting the job.
- Read the company's mission statement.
- Check out their social networks.
- Read articles and other news reports to understand how they demonstrate their commitment to your values.
- Be willing to share how you work in alignment with the values you share with the employer.
At best, the interview process should show both parties whether moving forward is in their best interests.
- Maximize the opportunity by researching the organization and understanding what matters most to you in a prospective employer.
- ReceiveatYour questions about the job itself and the culture of the organization answered.
- Request a shadow day to get a better “feel” of the day-to-day employee experience.
- Take the opportunity to see how:
- The work is assigned and done
- Teams take responsibility
- They reward and acknowledge the achievement of their goals.
In your professional life you spend more than half of your working day. Make sure the time is meaningful and satisfyingIdentify your values,convey these values effectively, jJoin an organization whose values align with yours.
They become much more powerful with more context or an example.
First, take a step back and listen to what the interviewer is really asking you.
- What do they want to know about you?
- How do you think it will fit or clash with the culture and dynamics of the existing team or organization?
Then take a deep breath and think about what is most important to you at the core. It's not about fitting into a company's values, it's about itBe really honest about what drives and inspires you.
When you think about your values, what 3-5 things need to be in place for you to move forward or motivate yourself to take action? I'm not sure?
I give an example below:
I have a strong attractionCooperation,spielen,Agency, jimpact.“
Now mecouldanswer with those words, but think about how muchbut powerfulcome back with more context or an example.
Here is an extension with the same example:
„CooperationThis means I work alongside mission-driven team members to generate new ideas and improve processes. I really enjoyed the teams where we took the time to share ideas with each other.
When it comes tospielenWe enjoy being in the moment and using our creativity and imagination, whether it's with sticky notes and markers or wearing silly hats. I've found that our best ideas come from those moments of joy.
AgencyIt's about having autonomy and being allowed to make decisions when appropriate and knowing when and where to make them. I have found that the agency enables everyone to grow and develop with their leadership and innovation.
Conimpact, we create positive change for the people who need it most, whether they are fellow team members, customers or clients. We don't just assume it will happen; we follow and observe. This helps keep us on the same page.”
Now, that may have seemed wordy, and you might not want to spend so long on it. could you mention thatwould like to expand these values when time permits. This also shows consideration for the other person's schedule, an added bonus!
Employers want to know who you are and what drives you to keep going
Remember, employers don't just want words or listen like a parrot to your website copy. They want to know who you are and what drives you.
And here's the best part, you'll know very quickly if it's a good option or not.
Don't misrepresent yourself or offer things you can't deliver.
Interviewers can regularly ask value-based questions to see if you would be a good fit for the company. Before you apply to a company, you should do a lot of research.
Try to find out as much as you can about the employer.to see if they are looking for someone who shares the same ideals and values as you. You can then emphasize these values by asking relevant questions about them in the interview.
This is an important part of interview preparation that many job seekers tend to overlook.
Be honest when emphasizing your personal assets in the interview.
There are some traits and values that employers are always looking for, such as:Motivation,positive attitude,Trust, and theAbility to work well with others.
When you highlight your best personal qualities in the interview, besecureHonestly.
Provide examples of how you embody these values in the workplace. When asked about your personal weaknesses, don't be afraid to answer honestly and explain how you're continually improving.

Honesty is essential for both you and any potential employer you are interviewing. If you remember it, you will become oneGreatImpression.
Employers want to hear candidates speak about the common good
A person's career path these days isn't as interesting as someone doing something for other people.
Even the richest and most famous businessmen do things for the greater good, whether it's funding vaccine research or buying a social media platform to uphold freedom of speech.
It might lead to a mixture of cheers and boos from the audience, but it's clear that people are used to seeing other people thinking beyond their own selfish interests.
Our company would like to know from the candidates howare active in the communityand howRepresentation of the underprivilegedit is part of your own personal mission.
We want candidates to answer the "values" question in terms of other people.
"I want to help people who don't have access to the resources they need to get the compensation they are entitled to."
Let them know you're on the same team.
When applying for a job, it's hard to overestimate the role of your skills and knowledge. There is no doubt here. However, it is also important to be culturally fit.
As more companies adopt a people-centric approach, employers are looking for employees to work with, for example, on the same team. And that makes the answer to that"What are your values?"even more important question than might be expected.
Work out the values instead of just listing them
Research the company to find its mission and values. Decide who you identify with most and why as you prepare a thoughtful answer to this interview question.
You don't have to limit them to your list.Be sure to pick something to craft with, though.
Avoid a simple enumeration of values.Bid insteadtrue lifeExamples that illustrate how each value works in your (professional) life.
I want to build long-term relationships, honesty, growth,effective communicationand empathy as core values? Good idea. Even better if it's backed up with facts.
Below are some suggestions to inspire you:
"I guesslong-term relationships, which is noticeable both privately and professionally. I've had the same friends since high school and I'm still in contact with co-workers from my first job."
„honesty. I've proven that I'm the one who can always give honest feedback and that's why I'm often asked for my opinion. They just know I'm going to tell them the truth."
"I really think we should put ourselves in each other's shoes more often. Empathy is the key to understanding and understanding one another bettercommunicate effectively. It also makes the workspace brighter as we feel more secure and less stressed knowing we are seen and understood.”
End your answer with something powerful.
For example:
“I identify with the values that your company promotes, which makes us not only a professional but also a cultural couple. If you are looking for someone who is passionate about work, treats people with respect and has the opportunity to grow with enthusiasm, I am the person you need.”
In fact, it shows a few things that can work in your favor.
they know thatYou went the extra mileLook beyond a company's homepage and gain insight into its culture. Plus, it's catchy, memorable, and intriguing. Also shows trust.
I would like to try this candidate. would youOf?
Think of the values that would contribute positively to the position
Asking about your values can have different meanings depending on who is asking.
Some may ask you to rate how your values align with yours or those of the organization. Others may ask what is important to you.
Regardless of the reason for the question, your answer should be framed in a way that your values would help you differentiate in the role and within the organization.
Values like these are all values that any employer would like to have in an employee, and everyone can benefit a role in different ways.
- integrity
- self discipline
- friendliness
- sincerity
- authenticity
- efficiency
- A commitment to excellence
For example, if the position requires you to work primarilydespite it,self disciplinewill be necessary to ensure that you canManage your time effectivelyand prioritize your work.
Although values that reflect your personal beliefs about religion or politics may be important to you, it is best to leave them out of your answer in an interview.
- Find out about the company's mission and values.
Often the company's values are stated on its website. Find out what is essential to the organization before you apply so you can talk about how our own values align with theirs in your cover letter and in your interview.
Not only does this show them a reason why you applied for a position with them, but it also demonstrates your readiness for the interview.
Selling yourself: This is the main goal of any job interview
while the question"What are your values?"doesn't say it explicitly, when an interviewer asks about it, he infers hisworkValues.
When you talk about how much you love your family, love to exercise, and love to recycle, you're actually missing outSell yourself, that's your main goal in every job interview..
The best strategy is to have a prepared answer that acts as a placeholder for each variation of"Why should I hire you?"(that is the questionAs a matter of factquestions).
You must reply to your message incongruencewith what would set you apart from your competitors.
Be confident but reasonable.
Identify the personal qualities that you consider most desirable in an employer.
- I could talk about your strong work ethic,
- how to keep improving and learning
- plan clearly defined goals,
- Measure your personal performance based on the results,
- Your leadership qualities in a group work.
The list goes on.
The point is this:Keep it related to the job you are applying forjSeize the hidden opportunityso that the employer is aware of your greater abilities. Do this effectively and you will win the interview.
