QUESTION 29 OF 30

Who is someone you consider a great leader or mentor?

"My basketball coach was a great leader for me in high school. He taught us how to persevere through challenges and that with hard work and dedication, we could win at anything we set our minds to. His encouraging words have stuck with me."

The interviewer wants to know who has had a positive impact on your life or someone you hold in high regard. While your response can pertain to your personal or professional life, it is a good idea to keep it professional and mention someone who has had a positive influence on your career path or education.

"My instructor for my human resources course has been a great mentor for me. She has really opened my eyes to the vast opportunities in the field and has shared her own personal journey in the industry. This has motivated me to think about my future and be more intentional about my other college courses."
