"I don't have any formal mentoring or training experience in the workplace; however, I did serve in a mentor capacity for two years at a local nonprofit. I mentored at-risk youth by spending time with them weekly and getting to know them, helping them with homework, learning new life skills like balancing a checkbook or using a debit card, etc. I love being able to teach people new skills and feel like I have strong communications skills that make me effective in a mentor role."

You don't have to be in a leadership role to mentor or help train a new employee, so this question may come up in any position. The interviewer wants to get a feel for what experience you have the training and mentoring others and if you have an interest in or passion for it. Think about how you may have helped onboard or guide a new employee in a past role and if you don't have experience in the workplace, think about anytime you may have mentored someone in a volunteer setting. How were you selected to train or mentor someone, and what did you enjoy about it?
