In team-based scenarios like this, remember that your interviewer will carefully analyze your ability to focus on the process, take the lead when necessary, and reflectively listen to others. Try to come up with some creative ideas so your interviewer will be sure to remember you after seeing many teams of interviewing candidates.

As you have to narrow down a large project to around six to eight minutes, it is best to break things down into the brainstorming, planning, and implementing stages of the fundraising effort. You'll want to focus on how funds will be raised and how you will market the event to ensure it succeeds. Having likely never worked alongside your interviewing colleague, you'll have to build a quick rapport and let things naturally take shape concerning who is taking the lead. Make sure that there is give and take between both of you as you don't want to seem too demanding to work with or hesitant to take charge when needed. It's important to note that your interviewer will also be keying in on non-verbal communication skills throughout your time at this station, so pay close attention to your body language, eye contact, posture, vocal tone, and listening skills.

"Good morning, Sam. My name is John, and I'm looking forward to planning this fundraiser to make money for a great cause. I think we should talk about goals first. I think the funds raised would best be served with a care package for the kids that includes an educational book on the benefits of great oral care, a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. Let's estimate we have 400 kids we want to impact and a cost of around 10 per care package. That gives us a goal to raise 4,000. So what do you think are the best ways to bring awareness of the issue to people and create a fun and impactful fundraising event? Okay, I think all of those ideas are great. I especially love the karaoke and 'dancing with the dental stars' ideas. My vote would go for karaoke because it sounds like so much fun and something people would support. What do you think? Great! Let's begin planning. Now to determine who, when, and where planning. I think involving pretty high-level faculty would generate a great amount of interest, would you agree? After we have a night and venue planned, we could begin getting volunteers. I agree that giving enough time for allowing advertising and allowing donations is important, and I think around three to four months out would be great. We can get to work on picking out a venue on or near campus to ensure great in-person attendance. Great, we have the auditorium booked for October 2 and a caterer booked. I'll work on finalizing the karaoke DJ from the list we made. Yes, let's get to work on advertising. What do you think of this flyer to hand up around campus? Great! We should talk with people about getting the event on our program website and the general university website as well."
