One of the most frequently posed personal interview questions for freshers, be ready for it. If you're confused about what to answer when asked about work ethic, go by the definition. It is the principle that hard work is intrinsically virtuous or worthy of reward. You can support your answer by citing examples from your professional journey which reinforce your dialogue.  Example: “During our annual projects, I would come in an hour early to keep myself ahead of others and would stay late to organize my planner for the next day in an immaculate fashion. I would treat my colleagues with the utmost respect and my juniors with fairness. I would maintain my integrity even in sticky situations and always put my best foot forward.”
