QUESTION 21 OF 30

At Mondelez International, we value individuals who take initiative. Can you give me an example of a time you did something without being asked?

There are always opportunities to be proactive when approaching your work. Taking the initiative demonstrates qualities of leadership. It also reflects a propensity towards being self reliant and independent without constantly requiring hand holding and reassurance from your leadership, which likely distracts them from their duties. Impress the interviewer by sharing your big-picture view and how you manage your workload, anticipating the needs of the team, and take action before anyone has the chance to ask you first.

"I noticed the numbers were off on a shipment I was delivering to a customer. They had ordered 30 cases, and we were only delivering 25. When I made the delivery, I let the customer know we would deliver the additional cases the next day and I called my manager to find out what went wrong. My manager and the client appreciated my sense of urgency and my ability to take action after making that observation."

"I often find myself taking the initiative without being asked. This will include situations like training staff members on a new procedure, calling customers to follow up on their orders, or taking random inventory counts."
