Integrity & accountability

Tell me about a mistake you made that someone else needed to hear about. Who told them — you or somebody else — and when?

Describe a time people were counting on you and you realized the thing you'd promised wasn't going to happen. What did they hear from you, and when?

Tell me about a real problem you spotted in your own work before anyone else did. What did you do — and did anyone ever find out?

Tell me about a rule or policy you thought was wrong but had to work under anyway. What did you do with the disagreement?

Tell me about a decision where the right call and the easy call were different — and choosing right cost you something. Walk me through it.

Tell me about a time someone doubted your honesty or questioned your word. How did you respond?
