Tell me about a time when you were in a leadership position.

Contrast this question with the nuances of the role for which you are applying and focus on the details, describing your style and your approach to your work. Remember, whether this is a leadership role or one where you are working side by side with others, consider how you would lead by example and strive to be an over-achiever in your position.

"I started an applications and technology solutions club in college. There wasn't a club like it, so I decided to create the club I was interested in joining. This took a lot of effort. From defining the purpose of the club, creating a constitution for it, recruiting and assessing interest, electing my club's officers, to our first meeting, and spreading the word. I learned a lot from that experience. I am proud to say the club is still going strong today. New members, original charter."
