"I was fortunate enough to lead an awesome project in my first couple of years out of college. The project involved expanding marketing operations to eastern Europe. As the lead for this project, I was given the autonomy to assemble a team that included marketing, sales, and production. I utilized some great internal resources to assemble the team. As a natural leader, I delegated to people based on their strengths and knowledge. I was the gatekeeper for the project, setting milestones and tracking our accomplishments. In the end, we put out a great campaign that saw our organization increase sales to the regions by 220%. I'd love to bring my project management skills to the team here at Philips Healthcare."

"Last year, I was pulled onto a project team implementing formal testing procedures for our paint lines to reduce quality errors. Representing the quality team in this project, I brought my expertise in system design and quality inspection measurements and tools to the team, and my ideas were taken very well. As part of this team, I learned a lot about how to manage an effective project team through teamwork, communication, and evaluation. I look forward to new opportunities to lead quality projects at Philips Healthcare."

You've likely been a part of a project team at some point in your career or schooling. Talk about your experience working as part of that team and where you were most comfortable as part of that team. If you don't have direct experience in leading a project team, speak to what you learned from participating in past projects and let your interviewer know that you'd look forward to leading projects in the role you are interviewing for at Philips Healthcare.
