      1st Answer Example

      "When I initially started my job four years ago I was a junior level operator. Today, I am responsible for leading a team of 8 operators.

In addition to the change in leadership responsibilities, I have also enjoyed two major promotions. I attribute this to hard work and dedication."

      "Change is a constant for me in my current company. I am given new responsibilities quite regularly which include training new employees, hosting lunch and learns, and writing a new policy. The pace of growth is complementary to my career goals."
