Personal question · Professionalism, Communication
More than your role allowed
Tenants, roommates, neighbors, clients and customers sometimes ask for more than the role you hold with them allows: a favor, an exception, or a kind of help that is not yours to give.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you had to keep a boundary with someone who wanted more from you than your role allowed. What did you say to them?
- 2What was hardest about holding that line, and what did you learn from the way you had handled it?
What raters look for
- Professionalism
- Is reliable, respects boundaries and confidentiality, and holds a consistent standard under pressure.
- Communication
- Listens first, speaks clearly and respectfully, and adapts the message to the listener.
