Do you have experience training others?
Competing for increased responsibility exhibits ambition and a strong desire to further one's career. Mentoring and training others in the workplace exhibits true leadership. Think about how you have helped others in their professional development while putting the needs of your fellow teammates and the needs of the workplace ahead of your singular goal. If you have such experience, share the strengths and skills you put into practice to help further your peers. If you have little experience, share how you've supported your fellows and any support you've offered in any capacity to bolster the success of your team. This can include sharing tips and tricks you employ to be more efficient or a better communicator. Shared workplace wisdom can count as well. When less experienced in training or mentoring, you'll want to share actionable examples that exhibit a supportive mentality of helping others on your team with their success.
"Yes, I trained two individuals on XYZ skill in my previous job. First, I had them shadow me so that they could see what I was doing. I made sure they felt comfortable asking questions, speaking slowly, and demonstrating the skill. I asked them if they wanted to try while I shadowed them. This was a very effective way to train, and I enjoyed it very much!"
"I have not been in a role senior enough to train others in the past, but I believe I will be a strong trainer and mentor in the future. I care about the progress of my colleagues and am a patient teacher."

Yes. Most of my experience is training others in debating and tutoring the English language. I care about the progress of my peers and am a patient teacher.

This is very nice! If possible, you could also add in how many tutoring students you think you have trained.
