1. Give an example of what teamwork means to you.

• As a manager for McDonald’s, creating teamwork with the other employees was essential.
• Getting food orders out in a precise and timely manner took a lot of effort.
• I switched some employee’s positions to better suit their qualifications.
• Communication flowed and orders were getting out. Employee’s work better when they are doing things that they are good at.

2. Give me an example of a major challenge that you faced, and how you went about addressing the problem and how it worked out.

• As a mother of two small children, it is very hard to find time for yourself.
• I was getting very physically and emotionally fatigued, and knew that I had to find some kind of retreat.
• I sat down with my husband and discussed the problem. We both decided that we would each get two nights a week to ourselves while the other person watched the kids, then make one night for family, and one night without the kids for us as a couple.
• This gave us both a retreat to rejuvenate ourselves and be better parents for our children.



3. Describe a past goal and how you achieved it.

• I wanted to be able to have my children wear new cloth, “Green” diapers, but didn’t have the money to buy them.
• I had to find some way to get some more money or find a way to make the diapers myself to bring down the cost.
• I shared my problem with friends on Facebook and one was able to direct me to a person that had the pattern to make my own diapers.
• I was able to make my own diapers and save money, as well as help take down the amount of waste our family produces.
