How to Use
Interviewer: Tell about a time when you demonstrated leadership.
Jon: When I was working at a retail store as a clerk, one time I had to be the leader. Our manager told the staff that we had to reorganize the store, but our manager didn't give us a lot of directions. Everybody was hesitant and didn't know what to do. So, I took charge and started organizing the staff into groups and assigning tasks to different groups. Everybody followed me and the work was completed well and on time.
Interviewer: Do you feel comfortable being in a leadership role?
Jon: Absolutely. I have no problem being a leader if that is what I need to do. But I also have no problem following orders. I just want to do what is best for the company.
Interviewer: It sounds like you are a real team player.
