This question evaluates how driven you are to further your career and development. Someone who consistently goes above and beyond in their work performance, and makes going the extra mile their standard, is someone who has the drive and motivation to further their career. These individuals recognize that their success and that of the team are intrinsically united. When volunteers are needed to perform a difficult or less desirable task, someone who recognizes the greater need and shows initiative. Someone who sees a member of their team struggle and helps them with a growth opportunity does so for the benefit.

You need to deliver a recorded on-demand interview that the algorithm will forward to the recruiter, who will later review it. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with the brand of innovators the company you are interviewing for is trying to recruit. Then examine, contrast, and compare your brand of innovation, and sincerely convey how you are their ideal match.

"(Situation) Last month, I realized that many of our staff training manuals had outdated information. Most notably, the company recently changed from Zoho CRM to Salesforce CRM. This change meant that the entire team had obsolete instructions for inputting important customer data into the system. (Task) As the Administrative Lead, it wasn't my responsibility to ensure this update was complete; however, I knew that the Administrative Manager was already overwhelmed with other deadlines. (Action) So, I decided to draft the training manual updates myself. The update took me about one week since I worked on it between other high-priority tasks. Once I finished the draft, I asked the Admin Manager to review and approve the changes. (Result) They were very impressed that I noticed the issue and took the initiative to make updates. The sales and customer service teams were also thrilled that I cared and took the time to streamline their work."

Before your interview, recollect instances of when you volunteered, saw something that needed to be done and acted decisively, or boldly chose to do the right thing, regardless of your personal cost. With each instance, examine each situation, the task required, the steps you took, and how the rest of your teams benefited from your actions. Give as much detail as you can within the allotted three-minute time frame.
