At Intel Corporation we like to hire natural leaders. When have you taken on a leadership task in the workplace without being asked?

"Last month, our supervisor was out unexpectedly, and a couple of temporary employees did not show up for their assignment. We were short-handed, and volumes were high. I decided to step up for the team and offered to work a double shift so that my team members did not have to work last-minute overtime. I enjoy setting an example of teamwork while maintaining a positive mindset."

"I will often take new hires under my wing, unasked. I believe it helps with retention when new employees feel like others are interested in their success."

Remember to describe the effect the action you took had on your team, department, or company. Intel appreciates candidates that can tie their actions back to the generation of value for their company.
