1. Answer tips

When asked about work ethic, mention taking pride in what you do, accomplishments and striving to always do better. It also means continuing to always have an initiative to learn and to learn from mistakes. A work ethic may include being reliable, having good social skills and the ability to work well with everyone. It could also mean not taking advantage of a company.

Focus on things that will highlight your individual contributions to the company in the big picture.

Use examples and briefly describe your working habits. Ask yourself these questions to help you formulate your answer: Do you tackle a number of projects at once? How long does it take to complete them? Are you organized?

Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.

My experience with the phrase is that it describes one’s level of commitment to a task/employer/course of study. Ability to go the extra mile, stay the course, persistence to achieve quality, finding resources when stuck, own the problems that arise, etc. Punctuality and showing up fall in there, too.
