When answering this question, think of a growth opportunity you've been working on, choosing something that isn't a required skill for the role, or something that would present you as a liability. Also, determine whether this growth opportunity is something specific that the NY Times can help you with. "Our organization values developing our people.

"I have gotten better at this, but I have trouble being selfish and asserting my needs. I am a go-getter at heart, but when it comes time to really getting up and out front, and seizing opportunities, I sometimes struggle with being loud enough. But, I have been working on this for years, and in the last year have been bold in voicing ideas for improvements in the workplace which were adopted and helped everybody. So, the more validated I feel, the bolder I become, but there's always room to grow even more."
