1st Answer Example
"In my present role, I was able to present and implement a key specific change in the office this past year. It was a recycling program that I felt was important, even for our smaller office. We had significantly less waste after initiating my plan, and I enjoyed seeing others take pride in helping our environment."

2nd Answer Example
"In my most recent position, I noticed that our written procedures were not exactly how the employees were doing things. I decided to interview the employees and compare their accounts to the written procedures that management wanted to be used. We were able to come to a compromise that met all of the safety and quality requirements of the company, but still worked a bit faster and easier for the staff."
