Demonstrate your ability to be a self-starter and self-managed in your work. As Dnata states online, "Ambitious? That's good because this is a place where your talent will take you as far as you want to go and where the rewards and job satisfaction will make every day a good day." Show the interviewer that you are a motivated individual by telling the interviewer about a specific time that you took the lead on a demanding project. Include details of your project timeline, which you led, or what you had to teach yourself for the project to be successful. Be sure to complete your answer by telling the interviewer the outcome.

"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."
