This HireVue assessment model is custom-tailored to Boeing's needs. Their pre-established criteria are designed to identify candidates who are aligned with their company's culture. So before you interview, conduct thorough research to understand the types of leaders and leadership qualities they seek in their potential hires. Then, compare their expectations with your own strengths and experiences, and present yourself in a way that effectively aligns with their desired leadership profile.

Regardless of whether you've held an official leadership position, reflect on the leadership experiences you've had, and examine which of those align with the culture of leadership Boeing fosters. One of Boeing's recruiters offers the following advice on their site: "Think beyond your work experience. Use experience and knowledge that you've gained outside of work, such as school or volunteer committees, if those experiences are relevant to the question."

"My leadership style is very transformational, inspirational, and participative. I have strong communication skills, so I don't struggle much with delegation, or with faithfully trusting that my team is well-equipped to handle what is presented to them. I thrive on coaching others and teaching them tools to better do what they do best. Lastly, trust and respect must be earned. So I am never hesitant to lead by example and set the pace by working side by side with them as needed."
