Tell me about a time when you had to take initiative in your role.

In my previous role as a Junior Capital Raiser, I had to take initiative when we were preparing for a major investor roadshow. One of my responsibilities was to assist in the preparation of marketing materials and presentations to prospective investors.

I then coordinated with the team members involved to delegate tasks and set clear deadlines. By taking initiative and effectively managing the process, we were able to successfully complete the presentation before the deadline and deliver a high-quality pitch to potential investors.
