Many teams at Jacobs are cross-functional and will require you to serve in more than one capacity over time. Let your interviewer know more about the role you naturally take, and then convince them you are comfortable shifting into other roles as needed.

"I am usually the 'ideas person' in team projects. In my current position, I am not the most influential salesperson, but I am highly creative. This creative edge means that, in most projects, I am great at creating a plan of action but am most comfortable passing the final client-facing tasks to our more extroverted personnel."

"The role I take depends on the makeup of the team and my relative level of experience with the deliverables we're working together to create. I am comfortable stepping into a lead role, I am comfortable serving as a mentor, and I am comfortable working as an individual contributor. If there's a gap to be filled, I'm always willing to step up and play more than one role. I am comfortable that I can add value to any of the teams I would be working with here at Jacobs if hired."

I am great at creating a plan of action and deligating relevant activities to the team members and monitoring activities execution, removing barriers, up to the final results. In fact, I am a result-oriented and very organized person which makes me a natural leader.
