Time When You Showed Initiative?

INSTRUCTOR NOTE:

Our Analysis:

  • The candidate gave a great example of initiative, and it was related to documentation (a topic often overlooked by programmers).
  • The candidate’s tone of voice and pacing could be improved — it felt a little too mechanical/rehearsed.
  • The candidate researched his idea before implementing it.
  • The candidate was specific about the impact of his actions, but would like to have personalized anecdotes (ex. An employee was working on a project, and it really helped him…).
