Tell me about when you took advantage of an opportunity to learn a new skill.

The interviewer is hoping to learn more about your approach towards your own leadership development. One's level of ambition can be revealed in how frequently they take advantage of learning new skills. It may also serve to reveal if you are overly ambitious and frequently take on too many tasks. Whether you're more likely to underperform on many tasks, over-perform on one task, or fall somewhere in between is what they're after here.

Taking on too many tasks, and trying to overachieve without having a firm grasp on time management, can result in poor work quality, thereby not meeting expectations. Being a perfectionist, and focusing too long on performing one task, may result in not meeting deadlines and slowing a team's productivity. They're trying to determine where you come in on this scale. The aim here is to strike a balance of quality and quantity.

Accenture's Internship Program promises plenty of opportunities to learn new skills. This opportunity offers "real-world knowledge through hands-on experience" and being "inspired by Accenture leaders as they mentor you throughout your internship." If you are not the type of person who takes advantage of every opportunity that presents itself, then you might not be a great fit for the program.
