Tell us about the time that you undertook a project that demanded a lot of initiative.

"We recently had a big project within our work centre. No one quite knew where to start or who should start it, so I took the initiative to volunteer and led my co-workers. We completed the project three days ahead of schedule."

"I would say that I have a demanding task or project nearly every day. I am self-driven and have no problem taking the initiative to get the job done. Just yesterday, I headed up the installation of a new software module. It was tedious work, but I knew the result would be worth the time and effort."

"I worked on a group project in school, but several members of our group got sick and dropped out of the project. So I became the group leader and coached us through it. To achieve our results, I had to restructure the project goals a few times. Ultimately, we delivered on time, got great scores, and it was a success. My professor complimented me on how resourceful I was in navigating the difficult circumstances. That felt good to hear."
