Sample Answer
About 3 years ago, I was on a probation period at an education institute near where I live. That was the job in my dream since I can work in the education sector using English. Better yet, it’s a nine-to-five job so I could spend more time with my loved ones after work. If my memory serves me right, I got to work early during my first month to prepare for my tasks and have small talks with new colleagues.
I reached my office one hour earlier. Much to my surprise, there was one of my co-workers who also showed up that early. It was understandable for me to be too shy to break the ice and it took some moxie to ask him about his unusual earliness (of course with a soft smile). He revealed it is one of his daily morning rituals to boost his concentration to deal with urgent but not important tasks.
Surprisingly, he shared his impressive method for work without hesitation. Out of curiosity, I dug a little deeper about that methodology. Meticulously, he walked me through Eisenhower Matrix step by step, a killer method to up work performance. Believe it or not, he explained everything in such a clear way like he knows the method like the back of his hand.
I learned a key to success for myself from a conversation which I previously thought we would have just simply exchanged pleasantries. The man who was exclusively generous to share that nice method with me has been frequently on his A game and referred to as the best well-organized employee of the South team.
