Common Questions and Sample Answers

1. Do you like to be in a hurry?

No, I can’t stand rushing. I always try to be early for appointments. When I have an in-person appointment, I leave well in advance in order to get there on time. Although I don’t always succeed, I do my best not to be tardy.

2. Do you like to finish things quickly?

Yes, if possible. I like to do things as fast as I can without compromising quality. When I try to do things too quickly, my attention to detail drops and I make silly mistakes. When I have to correct all the mistakes, it takes even longer than I would have if I had taken my time. When I was a child, my dad would always say “Do it right and do it once”. I guess that stuck with me!

3. Do you usually go out in a hurry?

No. As I said, I try to be organized and usually, I give myself plenty of time to get ready before leaving the house. I mean, I usually get up an hour before I have to leave. That said, I occasionally oversleep and have to rush.
