When selecting interns, Boeing interviewers set out to choose those who have confidence in their leadership, and the ability to bounce back when things do not go as planned. Hiring authorities understand that people in leadership will have successes and failures. Show that you can take those failures, learn from them, and move on with poise and confidence. Think about a time when your leadership plan didn't go as desired. Be sure to tell discuss what you learned from the scenario and what you would do better next time.

Remember: Boeing uses behavioral-based questions to conduct interviews, and they advise using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, and Result) method when responding. Be sure your answer is highly specific and includes quantifiable details and tangible results.
