This internship interview question challenges you to discuss how you portray leadership in your daily position. You may not be in a leadership role, and that is okay too! Perhaps you have been a mentor to someone in the past, led an athletic team as the captain, or guided a group project during your post-secondary studies. Provide an example of a time when you acted as a leader.

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.

"I feel I'm always exuding a sense of leadership, whether it is a formal part of my role or not. When it comes to my extracurricular activities such as volunteering with Meals on Wheels, or as captain of my school's soccer team, I am often the first to arrive and the last to leave. I am a strong team captain because I position myself as a positive example, and I offer myself as a teacher and mentor to those who want to grow and learn. As an intern at Boeing, my primary goal will be to learn from your experts in the engineering field. With that said, I believe my leadership capabilities will still shine through when it comes to my dedication and the eagerness and attentiveness I will bring to the job with me every day."
