Committees can be challenging. You may have experienced this early in your career or when volunteering with a non-profit or managing corporate events at work. Give an example of an event you put together with your team. This example focuses on budgeting and planning and working on an inexperienced team. You have the choice to be a leader or to follow along and get frustrated. Showing that you are willing to step up and take responsibility to lead your team shows initiative.

"I worked on a gala for a new non-profit organization as the event organizer. It was challenging because the board members wanted to be involved but didn't have a very realistic budget in mind, seeking donations for most aspects of the event, which can take more time. I made a point to be clear in communication with the team and the vendors and follow a timeline to make sure everything was accomplished by the deadline of the event. It's important to plan and structure the event based around a realistic budget from the very beginning. I was the only person on the team with experience, so I delegated the smaller responsibilities among the team and checked in to make sure everyone knew what they needed to do."
