"We recently had a big project within our work center. No one quite knew where to start or who should start it, so I took the initiative to volunteer and led my co-workers. We completed the project three days ahead of schedule."

"I would say that I have a demanding task or project, nearly every day. I am self-driven and have no problem taking the initiative to get the job done. Just yesterday I headed up the installation of a new software module. It was tedious work, but I knew the result would be worth the time and effort."
