When it comes to behavioral/situational types of interviews, I think there’s a handful of common questions that most use.

One of those might be around providing an example of showing initiative.

Think about touching on any of these areas:

– Being resourceful

– Taking a risk

– Using your imagination/creativity

– Stepping up when no one else would

– Doing what you felt was right

– Taking advantage of an opportunity

– Improving a system or process

– Anticipating a situation before it arises

– “Selling” someone on your vision

– Motivating others to complete a task
