Underwriter Interview Question:

How Do You Stay Focused on Your Job?

Submitted by: Muhammad

An underwriter typically spends 40 hours or more at a desk researching, calculating and contacting various creditors and applicants. As such, the job can become tedious after a period of time, and your interviewer will want to know how you plan to stay motivated to do your best. An example of an answer you may provide is "I enjoy helping people get the money they need to buy homes and this motivates me to do my best" or perhaps even "I understand that providing funding according to company policy is very important, so I am always very meticulous in my calculations. Knowing that my attention to detail is helping the company succeed motivates me to do my best."
