"A couple of years ago, I was tasked with being a part of a new prototype design team. During the first team meeting, I learned that I would need to work on a new software design program that I was unfamiliar with. After learning our goals for the project and deadlines to meet, I focused on first using my own research to learn the new program as best as I could before the next meeting. Walking into that meeting feeling fairly confident in my abilities, I let the team know where I was at in my training and asked if there was someone with experience in the program that could help train me on the pieces I was learning last. At that point, an experienced engineer told me he'd be glad to meet with me one day after hours and we did so the next day. After only an extra hour with him, he was impressed with my motivation to learn what I did in such a short period of time and I was thankful for his help as well."
