Tell me about a time that you exceeded your expected responsibilities.
An interviewer can use this narrative question to learn more about your work ethic. When an interviewer asks you to describe a time, try to answer using the STAR response method by including a situation, task, your actions and the result. For this answer, you can think of a time at work, school or in a volunteer program where you went beyond expectations and managed additional tasks.
Example: “In my last volunteer position in my local park restoration, I exceeded expectations when requesting additional tasks. I was originally in charge of removing trash from one section of the park, but I noticed the garden needed help. I offered to raise the funds to buy new flowers. I printed pictures of the current garden and showed them to local businesses when asking for donations. In one week, I secured enough donations to buy new flowers, and I spent an afternoon planting them. This made our park more beautiful, and I noticed more people spending time in that section.”

What causes are you most passionate about?
A volunteer coordinator or manager may ask this question to learn more about your personality and preferences. This could help them decide whether you are a good match for the volunteer program. To answer, think of the causes that you care about. Consider including the cause related to the volunteer program.
Example: “I am most passionate about helping climate change and animals, which is why Im so excited about your wildlife program. Ive volunteered at the local animal shelter for six years now, helping stray animals find new homes. We focused on local animals, but I knew there were more animals we could help, so I launched a program where my shelter sponsored foster animals in different locations. That new program helped an additional 100 animals find their forever homes. I care deeply about all animals and want to help them in any way that I can.”
