Questions with Answers
• Can you tell me about a time when you took control of a group? -✓✓In

took the lead and delegated the research load and assigned sections of
the project to each student, as well as created deadlines to give us room
to review and polish our work as team. We ended up having the overall
best project score out of every class and got to present our research to
Institutional Review Board of our University.
• How do you deal with conflict or opposition? -✓✓I take an analytical
approach to conflict or opposition by remembering what I am trying to
achieve. I tackle the problem by understanding where the opposition is
coming from and why, then I strategize the best way to overcome it.

sanitized. When I realized this situation, I immediately confronted my

didn't have time to wait for them to be washed. I showed my coworker
where we could find extra containers in the event of a rapid turnover,
