"I found that during college, I was empowered by challenging projects. I responded well when an instructor gave me general instructions, then I was given the ability to execute the project and ask questions when I needed to throughout. I enjoy feeling responsible for my contributions and receiving feedback once a project is completed. I believe I will be empowered in this same way in the workplace."

"For me personally, I am looking for a new opportunity where I am challenged in my work because new challenges help me become a better engineer and I do my best work when I am put to the test. If hired for this position, you'll find that I have the ability to work independently, with little direction. I never hesitate to approach my manager with questions or concerns if the need arises as well. It is also important to me that any new position I take gives me the freedom to find solutions to issues on my own. From your point of view, does this position and your style of management match what I am looking for?"

"If I were to be hired for this position, the best way for me to be empowered is to work as part of a team where my ideas are valued and taken into consideration along with the entire groups ideas. As an Account Manager, I'd look to work closely with and bounce ideas off of other Account Managers to work towards standardization as much as possible. Any team within an organization plays host to a number of individuals with different backgrounds and experiences and new and innovative ideas come best from a team with a diverse background. Because of this, valuing the input from all is extremely important and something that I value."
