Tell me about a time when you acted as a mentor to a fellow co-worker.

BofA's culture is centered around innovation and collaboration. Ideally, your goal is to reveal your motivation to further the team rather than checking off a list of accomplishments as you try to climb through the ranks. Balance your personal goals with the goals of the team. When they align, both your personal goals and that of the team are accomplished.

"At my position at a coffee shop I worked at, I was assistant manager. I gave the owner a heads-up that I was going to be leaving in a couple of months. They were grateful that I gave them so much notice. I started training my successor as the new assistant manager. It went well, and in less than a couple of weeks, they were up to speed. My boss assured me I'd be assistant manager until I left, but I told them it would be better if I stepped down and if my trainee became my boss. This way I could back them up, be around to answer questions, and phase out my schedule. I go in for coffee there now and again and they're all doing great."
