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

"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."

Impress the interviewer by showing how you manage your workload and take action before anyone has the chance to ask you first. Point to a specific example where you made a difference at work by doing something that wasn't expected of you.
