Values-Based Questions

Introduction #

Values-based questions openly examine whether or not your values are a good match with the organization’s values.

The good news is that the responses you’ve prepared for the “prior experience” questions can also work well for values-based questions. This is the time for you to refer to your list of the organization’s values from your homework.

Yes, you will want to use the organization’s lingo (can be found on their website and/or social media) in your responses as it shows an understanding of the organization and an ability to meld into their culture.

Please do not confuse this with being phony, it is not the same thing. Instead, you are simply placing your knowledge and experiences into a framework that is familiar to the interviewer.
